Re: anthurium veitchii

From: plantnut at macconnect.com (Dewey Fisk) on 1999.02.02 at 02:46:24(2988) Price on A. veitchii? I ordered two plants from the same folks and they had two leaves each that were about 5 inches long.... Frankly, I thought it was very inexpensive. At one time I sold A. veitchii for $250. that were in 1 gallon pots with 6 inches of stem above the media. Had about 4 - 5 leaves that were 10 - 14 inches.... Now, since this is the only place that has them for sale..... Spend your $20. and be happy.
