Prop Culture S02E22: Anthurium Papa, Lust Lists & the $40K Monstera Side-Eye
Q: What do people get wrong about Anthurium most often in your experience?
New growers often buy too many plants too quickly without learning their care needs. He recommends starting with one plant, building consistency, and learning the basics before expanding a collection.

Q: How did Anthuriums get you, and when did you go from growing them to breeding them?
A visit to Ecuagenera and seeing Anthurium warocqueanum sparked his interest. After learning from Barry Schwarz, he began with red crystallinum and produced his first batch of seedlings within a year.
S02E18: Coopetition Over Competition with Veronica Moore of Plants Are Therapy
Q: What does it mean to treat plants as therapy in daily life?
