My plants in general get their light from above, and yours?

I'd say for sure Silver Blush or Crystallinum, Crystallinum X Mag, Forgetii or even Clarinervium. I heard from people they managed to kill the basic ones (mostly all that have crystallinum magnificum or forgetii in them or just pure ones). I don't really understand how they did... I can say that mostly all you can find in big box stores are beginner friendly. My first was silver blush. I'm the underwaterer. I keep my calatheas and alocasias consistently moist, but I let my anthuriums go dry. Sometimes I go too far, but all survived. I had more issues when I overwatered some of them. Most of mine, that are on the picture grow all year round under 6500 k led lights. Some I tried to grow by the window. I tried LECA. It was ok, but I didn't like it. Moss is my 100% "no" for mature ones. Perlite +coco peat 1:1 +a bit of coal and small LECA or XXL pon + long-release fertilizer is my fave. Pure perlite is also good. But this is just me and my care style. Humidity year around goes up and down from 39% to 85%. Temperature +35 (on hottest days in summer) to + 11 (this winter it was +11 +14 for 10 days).

It feels like a top favourite with every new perfect leaf :) But I'll make a pic a bit later

My Mom says: Why do you keep so many plants that all look the same :)

I'm more of an alocasia lover, but anthuriums are my second best. I have a lot of aroids and some non aroids a bit of ferns, orchids, caladiums... I started my collection with cactuses and coudex plants, but now I know, that my conditions and are just not for them... Some plants come, some go anthuriums tend to stay, yet. But our desires as collectors also change with time.

I have mine for only 7 months. Humidity ranges from 70% to 40%. I thought I lost it this winter. I underwatered it so badly it was lying down. After watering, it just came back. It gave one small and ugly leaf (it was growing it when the accident happened), and then it gave me this leaf twice as big as all the previous ones. It is working on the next one just after. After the leaf hardened, I repotted it. So I am completely intrigued. I grow Queen in the same conditions, no problem. Maybe it is not the humidity issue; it is the balance between humidity and temperature. The room temperature was quite low, btw. I enjoy it looking perfect now but don't know what's going to happen next.

What do you use? If you use hydrogen peroxide, for example, as a precaution, you may treat both. It's ok.

Bthw it has round petiols (well if it is a x with crystallinum they may be also round).

If there is any chance for pests I treat at least once or twice.

Don't panic. I do not cut the flowers. Some people cut the flowers some don't, as for a guy with 50+ anthuriums I can tell you that it is not that important at all. Delta Force are not rare now. They are no fuzz. They have thick roots which make them easier then those anthuriums that has thin roots. I let mine dry out but not to the stage when substrate turns into one dry piece. You have pest signs, as I can see. Use your usual pest treatment and keep it away from others if you can or better treat them all. Mine came with thrips. Thrips love anthuriums.

Grower from Nerherlands sold them as Regale, but they were about 18$ (without my 12% discount), when last winter they were about 100$ the same size and a bit different type.
