Re: Anthurium divisions?

From: Aroideae at aol.com on 2000.04.26 at 21:54:33(4429) hi paul, yes, this technique usually works very well on anthuriums. i usually take the original pot, after making the top cutting, and put it in a sealed plastic bag in the shade until new growth is initiated. this works well for me. the point is to keep the humidity up without additional watering, to prevent root rot. +More good luck, lynn << Hi my name is paul and im new to this forum. Please excuse me if this is a newbie question but i purchased an Anthurium pedatoradiatum(i bet i messed up) and it has a fairly long "rhizome" with plenty of roots. I paid what i would consider a little hefty but because i had never seen it before i got it. anyways i was wondering if i can divide the rhizome and have it put out another plant. i only thought of this because for some reason my main plant of Anthurium christallinum died but put out many side shoots. just a thought to get more from my money..thanks in advance for any advice. >>
