Re: Anthurium crystallinum from seeds

From: Denis denis at skg.com> on 2000.10.08 at 20:12:44(5537) Dear Tsuh Yang Chen: We grow or attempt to grow a lot of Anthurium species from seed every year. Anthurium Crystallinum types appear to be slow to germinate and overall have only a 25% germination rate. Your best bet would be to remove all the pulpy part of the berry by squeezing out the seed and sowing them on the top of sphagnum moss in a sealed pot or covered tray with a clear top. Most Anthurium seed will germinate quite fast under these conditions....crystallinum will not, it will delay a monthor two. Good luck and have fun. Speaking of slow to germinate, those seeds that Joep Moonen sent in May of Dieffenbachia sp. have just started to Germinate five months after sowing and the Dracontium have still not germ9nated.
