These available are smaller than the batch previously offered- the reduced price is reflective of that
Seed parent: leland miyano
Pollen parent: leland miyano
The seed and pollen parent on these babies are both leland miyano, making these babies F2. The new leaves emerge so red once this beauty matures, with large triangular leaves that sport a very unique square petiole with many ridges. This plant was originally found by Leland Miyano- hence the name- in Brazil, currently further information is unknown. We were fortunate enough to acquire this anthurium from Marie Nock a few years ago and have been fortunate enough to breed so often with it.
SOIL:
Anthuriums are typically epiphytic and do well in a substrate with ample aeration- orchid bark, charcoal, coco coir, perlite, and things of that nature assist with aerating your substrate so it is not too dense and holding too much moisture. It is always best to play around with what substrate mixture works best for your environment.
LIGHT:
Anthuriums can survive in lower light conditions, but prefer at least 6 hours of bright, indirect sunlight each day. We grow our seedling under shade cloth, outdoors, for reference. Harsh, direct light may burn the leaves, and very low light could stunt growth and prevent flowering.
WATER:
Anthuriums do well to always have a slight level of dampness, but not constantly soggy.
CONDITIONS:
Anthuriums thrive in a humid environment. If you live in a more naturally humid area like we do, here in Central Florida, outside may be a good spot to keep them. Airflow is essential to prevent water build-up on the leaves, which can lead to fungus.
HISTORY:
Anthuriums are found throughout Central and South America. As of today there are
18 sectional groupings of anthuriums, with each section presenting similar defining traits. We most often offer anthuriums from the cardiolonchium and branchiolonchium sections. Interestingly- these two groups have been successful in crossing and we have two sectional crosses we are eager to grow out.
