Hello
all,
I have an
Anthuruim halmoorei which I raised from seed (from Don Martinson,
thank you), but it has become rather scrangely. Can anyone
tell me if it would be successful to bury it deeper to get rid of the
length, or perhaps better to air layer the extended stem? I
have tried air layering before, but have had trouble when transfering
that layering to soil. Don is ready to send a photo of the
plant so you can see what it might need. Please look and tell
me what can be done?
Thank you
very much for your help,
Susan
Cox

It looks to me like all you need to do is add some fresh compost to the top of the pot up to 1/2" below the rim. It should root itself in rather quickly now the summer is near. Add some Osmocote and water well. All should be fine. Layering and everything else seems over zealous.

Hello John!
It's too late. In order to bury the length
enough for the stem to hold the very heavy leaves in an upright position I
actually had to cut a bit more than 1/3 of the roots off from the bottom (it was
ALL roots!) and plant it in an even deeper pot! There was no rhizome
cut. So far (day after) there is no sign of negative affect. The
leaves were so heavy that it required planting it up to the uppermost level
possible. So, there are bottom roots and roots that will begin shooting
roots into the soil at the top. If the trunk that I buried that is in
between the bottom roots and the just forming upper roots (about 8" worth)
doesn't rot, I'm in like Flynn. Thank you for your
input!
Susan
