Re: [Aroid-l] Anthurium

From: Michael Pascall <mickpascall at hotmail.com> on 2009.05.23 at 09:34:02 Once mature and a few years old =2C many Anthuriums develop a tall 'trunk' . These can be cut up =2C and sprouts will usually form . A few months ago =2C I was forced to chop off the top of a very large Anthurium atropurpureum =2C 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=2C and I should be able to remove them . Then=2C =3B maybe the stump will produce a few more sprouts Michael Pascall=2C >=3B Date: Thu=2C 21 May 2009 11:06:41 -0700 >=3B From: piabinha@yahoo.com >=3B To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com >=3B Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Anthurium >=3B >=3B >=3B thanks for all the responses. >=3B >=3B i don't have many anthuria but they seem reluctant to propagate vegetatively=2C at least mine=2C compared to other genera. currently i'm only growing stenophyllum and faustino-mirandae=2C 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=2C would that stimulate further division? >=3B >=3B come to think of it=2C 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? >=3B >=3B sheldon=2C if you divide them=2C they'll grow better=2C i'm sure. >=3B >=3B =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D >=3B tsuh yang >=3B >=3B >=3B >=3B _______________________________________________ >=3B Aroid-L mailing list >=3B Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com >=3B http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l Click Here View photos of singles in your area--_1296c74d-f34a-4ab9-b102-a21fca416918_----===============7059332945927377955==
