Dear Don,

Some Anthuriums require a LONG time for the infructesence to develop and ripen, up to over a year in some species, other species seem to require a few months, I have no exact reports on these times, just from observation and memory. Other aroids vary a LOT in the length of time needed, from weeks in Caladium and its allies, to over a year in Dracontium and some Anthuriums. Room here for a wonderful article!
Good Growing,
Julius
