After unaliving so many alocasias , I started buying anthuriums in place of alocasias and now I have almost as many anthuriums. My favorites are the strappy leaved ones like wendlingerii, fredrichstalli, and vittarifolium. But for easy starters I would go with an anthurium papillaliminum or crystalinum. Good luck in your anthurium addiction….. I mean affection lol

Trust me, I need all the help I can get... I kill ever succulent I touch (except for a few) and I somehow nearly ruined a pothos 💀😭

Anthuriums LOVE humidity, especially seedlings , so put them in a small dome or Tupperware container until they get bigger.

Ah! Noted. I also mist my plants (probably a lot more than I should) so I should be alr with a humidity tray :)

I've never tried anthuriums before, but I'm considering getting a warocqueanum as a main plant for a large terrarium I'm planning

Cool! Def post a pic when you're done :D

Some anthuriums are significantly easier than others. Here are some beginner friendly options

Long and strappy: palladiflorum or pendulifolium (depending on what look you want).

Texture: rad x lux, king (veitchii wide or narrow form). For research, look up bullatae anthuriums.

Veining: clarinervum, magnificum, crystallinum

Unique shape: peditoradiatum

Dark and velvety: hybrids. Hybrids. Please, hybrids 😂 MDB x BVEP (Marshellini Dad Bod x Black Velvet Eastern Panama) is probably one of my easiest and fairly fast growing dark velvet anthuriums. FSRL is a good one too. Please do not go with any pure species. They are a pain in the butt and far less forgiving. My blue pap clone has been a stump for a month from my mistakes. Coming from someone who keeps all her picky anthuriums in a greenhouse/controlled environment and my pures are STILL HARD. (I’m crying inside about that one).

My trusted sellers:

\- Rooted Rarities  
Stupid good deals from them on Palmstreet but they also have a website or Etsy. They do 2 day shipping with overnight option and back their plants up.

\- DreadRot  
on Palmstreet has cool hybrids but they aren’t the best prices. Ie, paying $150 for a $400 plant is a good deal but it’s still expensive lol

\- PlantyWeeb

All plants I’ve received from those sellers have come in near perfect condition, pest-free, fast shipping, etc.
