Re: Does anyone grow the real Anthurium hookeri?


Marek,
I guess, that without the berries it is not possible to tell if a plant is the real A. hookeri. I have a plant bought as A. hookeri which shows all the features (scalariform veins, black punctuations), but its berries were not white (the pic of the infructescence can be seen here):

So it is a Holland hybrid :(
The good thing is, that the germination rate is nearly 100% and the berries can be stored for several days (a few weeks) without the seeds loosing their viability significantly. But I don't know if it applies to the species itself too.
