I have one. It can either simply be planted in the ground if your climate is warm and your soil well draining, or in a pot with a well draining mix of potting soil, perlite, wood chips etc.
Finally recieved my Anthurium gracile. It came in sphagnum moss. Also I detected a metallic blue in the leaves. Is this normal? Or maybe its from oils previously smeared on the leaves by the nursery, or God forbid, cold damage? Thanks
It is one of the true epihyte species , the roots are nearly identical to orchid roots , so it could be grown in a very well drained media . I have grown them in standard potting mix with added coarse sand and they have done well , and I have also sprouted them and grown them on coconut husks .
Thank you much Aroideana. I too noticed the striking similarity in the roots of this Anthurium and Phalaenopsis. Glad I'm not the only one. It came is sphagnum moss, but will soon repot it. Thanks.
Some of the best Anthuriums I have ever seen graced the collections of keen Orchid growers . The constant care and attention lavished on expensive orchids mkes for lush companion plants . Thanks for the link to your pics , I am signing up for that board , see you there .
