Re: pruning Anthuriums

What about just tying the petioles together in a sheaf, and then just
crumpling the leaves together with a cloth or paper wrapped around them? Even
if the leaves arrive mangled, some of the photosynthetic apparatus will
survive, and that will help the plant recover slightly faster. Just an idea.

<< is it possible to cut off all of an anthurium's leaves (for ease of

and not cripple it? i have an unidentified bird's nest type plant that i
bought as a seedling at a farmer's market. it's now huge and i wanted to
ship or transport it but with those huge leaves sticking out in all
directions, it is very difficult. could i cut off all the leaves and will it
sprout again from the crown?
