Growing Anthurium from seed

Should you plan to grow your own Anthurium seeds do not pot them in soil! Instead, gently squeeze the seeds out of the mesocarp pulp of the berry into a jar with clear sterile water and shake the capped jar well to separate the pulp from the seeds. In a couple of days the seeds will settle to the bottom and the pulp will rise to the surface so it can be removed. Remove the seeds and put them in a clean jar of water and shake once more to remove any traces of the pulp that can cause the seeds to produce a fungus. Prepare a shallow plastic container (such as a restaurant salad container) by cutting long strand sphagnum moss into very fine pieces and mix in approximately 1/4 aquarium charcoal. Press this fine mix into the bottom of the container but do not add any soil! Be sure to punch drain holes in the container's bottom before filling and do not allow the container to hold water!
One important goal is to have a high humidity environment in which the seeds can germinate. You need no more than 1/3 of the container to be filled with the moss growing bed that will now be similar to the floor of a rain forest. Spread your evenly spaced seeds across the surface and mist them lightly with either rain water or bottled purified water. Do not attempt to cover or bury the seeds! Put on the lid of the container and you now have a miniature greenhouse. Store the seeds in moderately filtered light in a warm room and in two days to a week you will see germination. Mist them only as needed.
Continue to grow the plants with the lid on and just mist them lightly until they are well developed and then transplant them to fast draining soil that contains peat moss, shredded sphagnum moss, hard wood charcoal (such as aquarium charcoal) and high quality potting soil in roughly an equal mixture. In a year or two you'll have nice specimens to display or give away.
