Anthurium andraeanum ‘red’: Many new leaves revealing themselves this week! It’s been a couple weeks since these plants received their first fertilization of the spring. I’m trying homemade fertilizers this year in order to save money and repurpose some food waste. So far it seems to be going well. The new leaves pictured are from three of my Laceleaf plants. Others have sprouted new leaves over the last couple weeks, but this is the most I’ve had at one time:)

Still waiting for a spathe. The weather has been cloudy for about 10 days straight and seems like that will double before we get a sunny day again. But, it’s still early in the season so there is still hope!

Anthurium andraeanum ‘red’: I’ve had this beauty since March of last year. It had two spathes when I purchased it, one healthy and one not so healthy. Sadly, it hasn’t put out any more since then. It was getting fairly large over the winter, so I recently split it into 9 separate plants, the largest portion is pictured above. I’m hoping that the weather this spring/summer will provide enough sun for this beauty to bloom once again:)

On another note, while I love flowering plants and those with colored foliage, I always stop and admire the foliage of this plant. Just beautiful.
