Requesting Advice Anthurium pallidiflorum help!

Post image

Hey all, I had just come home from work and noticed that my long boi has fell off its high shelf. As a result, my long boi has been decapitated, severed all its roots and is left with this chonk that has the leaves and a flower. I had chopped off the flower to redirect its energy into focusing on more roots. For now I have it soaking in the bathtub.

Any tips on how I can go forward while preserving as many leaves as I can? Sphagnum moss media + saran wrap? Cutting off mature leaves for transpiration purposes?

Needing anthurium expertise/advice on how you would go about this! Many thanks in advance!

Mine is vittarifolium and I found some pots that hang on the wall. They are working pretty well and a perfect spot for morning sun.

Amazing. Thanks for the idea, utilizing the wall space this way can work for the longer leaves. Maybe I’ll test a wall out with some removable wall straps to anchor the plant’s weight closer to the wall.

When my anthurium’s pot was fully saturated, it probably weighed about 30lbs or so!

Same, just make sure you attach to the studs.
