# Anyone have experience with growing Anthurium received as a starter…

Anyone have experience with growing Anthurium received as a starter plant in a brownie plug? I’m having a really hard time getting these plants to stay healthy. I ended up removing the plug because when I tried to pot it into soil, the soil was drying out at a different rate than the plug which was causing issues. I now have these plants in 3 inch clear plastic pots, a well draining soil with a layer of moss on top. They are in high humidity, at least 60%. They are under grow lights. Some of them are not growing at all and some have leaves turning yellow. I’m losing my mind trying to figure out what is wrong. I have Crystallinum, Forgetii, Clairnervium.

I personally hate brownie plugs. I remove them from any plant I get that has them. In my experience they stay too wet. They are great for growers but not so good in the average household. I have my Anthuriums in self watering pots which I find helps they can drink whenever they want. Some go through water way faster than others.
