Re: [Aroid-l] Anthurium

From: Michael Pascall <mickpascall at hotmail.com> on 2009.05.23 at 09:34:02(19352) Once mature and a few years old , many Anthuriums develop a tall 'trunk' . These can be cut up , and sprouts will usually form . A few months ago , I was forced to chop off the top of a very large Anthurium atropurpureum , as it was to top heavy . Now I have some vigorous sprouts forming on the 50 cm [ 20 "] tall stump I left in the 30 cm [ 12"] tub it was growing in . By spring these should have developed roots of there own, and I should be able to remove them . Then,  maybe the stump will produce a few more sprouts Michael Pascall, > Date: Thu, 21 May 2009 11:06:41 -0700 > From: piabinha@yahoo.com HTML +More > To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com > Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Anthurium > > > thanks for all the responses. > > i don't have many anthuria but they seem reluctant to propagate vegetatively, at least mine, compared to other genera. currently i'm only growing stenophyllum and faustino-mirandae, and i've had the steno for a long time and wanted to propagate it to give away. but it hasn't done it. i wonder if the crown gets injured, would that stimulate further division? > > come to think of it, i think i had a bird's nest-type that did make several crowns before. are the bird's nest more likely to do this? > > sheldon, if you divide them, they'll grow better, i'm sure. > > ========= > tsuh yang > > > > _______________________________________________ > Aroid-L mailing list > Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com > http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l Click Here View photos of singles in your area--_1296c74d-f34a-4ab9-b102-a21fca416918_----==============p59332945927377955=
