@Mak33 and
@Rosemaryx -- ladies, your indoor gardens are amazing and tres inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing.
Gasp... Anthuriums -- I'm pretty sure they were created to be the bane of my houseplant-ambitious existence.
I fell in love with the anthurium's bright red blooms a few years ago and I've tried everything -- growing them indoors and outdoors, moving them around from light to dark, reading up on them and putting together some cray cray 3-ingredient soil mix recipe that they supposedly like, misting them lightly every morning, turning on a humidifier, and, le sigh. I was so excited to see a new finally start to form, only to see it stall in place and wither away, right along with my former plant-filled, domesticated dreams.
Anthuriums and I are just not to be, and I now try my best to resist their glossy, ruby-blossomed siren call every time I walk past them in the gardening department.
If you ever figure out how to make them thrive, please, pass along your wisdom!
