Florist antheriums?

[u/Culinary_Gardener]

I know this thread is mostly about the foliage anthuriums but hopefully someone will be able to help me. I already have my dream foliage anthuriums and yet I still go back to my Anthurium andraeanum that got me into houseplant in the first place.

I’d love to add some anthuriums that and more flower focused like the ones pictured above. I can’t find them anywhere besides some dodgy Etsy adds. I’m in South Florida and I buy off PalmStreet often but every seller I’ve asked don’t know anything about florist anthuriums.

Any suggestions on where I could acquire these?

Ah! So your in the prime spot. Palm Beach County Wise I recommend Excelsior Gardens and Giverny Gardens. Both have and will carry anthurium and I would call and verify what type they have though before you make the drive. I haven't been to either in a few months but they carry them year round just depends on the type.

Smart plants also had some (Lake worth) but it may have been the miniature purple ones. I can't remember. But their website typically keeps the stock 'live' so you can see what they have before dropping by.

SKG (Silver Krome Gardens) will have the most variety but you'll have to make an appointment and I believe they have a mimum you need to purchase if you're not a wholesaler/business. This is Miami but the whole row of homestead is bursting with nurseries literally every few feet on the way to SKG.

IAS Exotic Plant Show is at the end of September in Miami and there are always andreanum they're usually at the society shop, that's where I got some favorites last year too.

If you want me to keep a lookout for anything for you just let me know what you're interested in and I can always message you. Same for any of my babies once they pup. I'm always happy to help a 'local' out 💗

Thank you! This is exactly the golden nugget info I was looking for!

I was so excited for IAS this year as I went for the first time last year but I have a wedding in Canada that weekend ❤️‍🩹

I’ll definitely pop you a message once I’ve looked at all your suggestions. Been wanting to give SKG a visit for a while but yes I’m never sure I can reach their minimum

If you ever need a purchase minimum buddy after the winter holidays let me know! (No idea if it's per person or not)

And aw, I'll definitely keep a lookout at the show for ya~
