I always buy small ones, most were around $15. My most expensive one was $40. But I see anthurium in the $100-150 range that are so tempting. Maybe one day lol

This is me on any regular day. Mostly because I’ve found if I buy them small they have a better chance of acclimating to MY environment.

I want a dark phoenix so bad! I just made a post about how I might try to find one for my birthday later this year lol. I’m still new to anthuriums so I’ve only really purchased starters and seedlings. My most expensive seedling was around $30 which was a Magnificum x Luxurians and it’s probably my favorite right now. I just love the texture on it, but it’s still a baby.

My advice to you is to just gradually follow anthurium related accounts on insta/facebook, that’s how I found mine :)

Can you share your care secrets?

It’s honestly just stems down to consistency and getting used to the watering regimen.

I pretty much, provide 12 hrs of light, I don’t use humidifiers or anything, but I do use cabinets to trap a relative humidity of 70-80, these guys will do fine in ambient tho. For watering I use the generic clear tower pots, I feed with every water and clean the leaves every so often.

That’s pretty much it :)

I have a varigated Vittarifolium that I got for $125 from my plant “dealer”. This was January and it’s only given me one leaf. Hoping for more!!!!!
