Lastly, here is a shot of some little colocasias I grow outside. I planted a few of these a couple years ago and they multipy more and more every year. This is Fallax. Its a dwarf, this is the mature size.
Please sho photos of your aroids, I am interested in what everyone else is growing. http://www.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ids/fallax.jpg |
Anthurium
Here are some photos of one of my Anthuriums. I live in Wisconsin. I grow these in my livingroom. In the winter, the house is cold, drafty, and dry with temps around 55 to 65 degrees F. I am proud that the Anthuriums are growing so well and have been blooming year round.

My anthuriums aren't doing anything exciting but...some of my friends are:

Hi Faery Girl, that Anubias looks too much like a Spath to me. Are you sure its not a Spath? Great pics by the way.
Here is a picture of my Anubias frazerii http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...frazeri-04.jpg Badger Light, what substrate do you use for your Anthurium? Is it mounted? I can't seem to get mine to bloom, except maybe one flower per year. Nice pics Mr. Robert. |
My Anthuriums are potted in potting soil with added peat. I try to keep them watered well and occasionally fertilize them. They are in a North/East window and have additional plant lights on them in the evening. The first few years they only bloomed February through summer. The last 4 years they have bloomed year round. I have red, pink, white, and candy stripe Anthuriums. The one plant in the photo is growing five feet off the floor and it has grown into a huge plant with huge leaves and flowers.

Nope, I'm certain its an anubias. I only have 2 anubias. There are many different species of anubias. I have a couple of Spaths. This is my variegated one, the one called Domino. Its blooming like a madman at the moment.
Those are really nice A. andreanums! I collect those. I have been hankering after one called Shibori that has a speckled flower. There is a vendor on eBay who sells it from Hawaii, but it always goes for way too much, and his shipping to the mainland is way high. I keep hoping someday I will "happen" on a specimen here somewhere. http://www.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ids/vardom.jpg |
Thats a gorgeous Spath. Do you have it growing outside? That isn't something I could do in Wisconsin.

Actually its planted inside in the greenhouse. It wouldn't make it here in our brief winter, we do get frost. I have a second one I keep inside as a houseplant. They aren't pricey here, about $8 for the 3 gallon size at Home Depot.
I got this little Philodendron "Prince of Orange" for $3 a few years ago as a starter plant and its just now getting some size, showing a really orange new leaf to live up to its name at the moment http://www.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ds/porange.jpg |
Wow, thats very nice Philo. :drool:
That Spath is gorgeous! |
**Advice needed**
The gardener that takes car of the common areas in my neighborhood tore up the "legacy" garden that had gotten rather out of control. I had long admired the aroids that grew in the circle (sorry no pictures), so after he slashed everything to the ground I went out there with a shovel and dug up the aroid bulbs. Here is what I got: Big ones http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i9...ICT0001-11.jpg Small ones http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i9...PICT0002-5.jpg **Question what do I do with them now? How deep should I plant them? They were about a foot underground. I don't know the watering schedule of the common area so i also don't know how much to water them, or how much light to subject them to...and what side is up??? So many questions. Please help. Thank you- Mateo |
