anthurium care


Question
hi.. will potting anthuriums in bigger pots yield bigger flowers? thx

Answer
Hi Flor,
Thanx for your question.  If your plant has become crowded in the pot this  can and does adversely affect the plant.  The actual flowers are in the spadix or the appendage that extends out of the heart shaped spathe.  The plant will often send up offshoots so you can divide the plant by taking it out of the pot and separating the plants and repotting them in separate pots.  This will rejuvenate the plant and result in larger, more colorful blooms.  There are some varieties of anthuria which have small flowers.  Putting them in larger pots will not affect the size.  If you have noticed smaller blooms, it's time to divide and repot.  I hope this helps.
Tom
