# Let me tell you about the journey I’ve had with this Anthurium…

_Posted by Braddah Mike da Planta on 2023-08-22_

Let me tell you about the journey I’ve had with this Anthurium Besseae I brought home from a plant sale at the local botanical garden. Its old leaves were not handling the acclimation well and started slowly crisping over the course of a couple months. Meanwhile it gave me an inflorescence, an extremely damaged leaf (you can see it in the background), and then another inflorescence. Things were not looking good. I upped the humidity to 80% and then like magic this gorgeous leaf bigger than my head appeared. She’s still growing and hardening off. Persistence is key in finding the ideal growing conditions, my friends! What do you think of her?
