I'm growing this one indoors.
I had it near an east window the past year.

The only problem with it was the fact that it never seemed to hold on to more than 1-3 leaves at a time.
I know it wants to climb, and I haven't (as of yet) provided anything for it to cling to/climb.

Other than that...it's done very well for me.

I agree, it's one that's worthy of looking at all the time!

Me too
They are challenging+.
The temperature requirements are hard on the plant in seasonal climates.
I recently converted it so it can climb. So far no change

I have never thought of the Queen as a climber. This is mine, its planted in theground. It has leaves between 2-3 ft long, and a huge spreading root system that holds the plant firmly upright, has not needed a totem (yet).

I think that this may be the problem that it may present as a houseplant. It needs to develop that really large root system (the roots of this plant spread, EPIPHYTICALLY ABOVE THE GROUND, for 12-18"+ out from around the base. Unless you place it in a large wide tub of a pot you can't get that indoors.

Hey Bihai!, Thats a cracking looking Waroc', i suspect that your growing conditions for growing these tropical aroids is much better than mine in general as your plants all look so lovely and lush with big beautiful leaves, trouble is, i cant plant mine in the greenhouse border because a) greenhouse not big enough, because of high temps required,heating is pricey and impractical in huge greenhouse, can only afford to heat small one to required temps and b) because of artificial heating method, humidity is always a pain to keep up because heater drys out air very quickly and as you know, Anthuriums love warm HUMID air to thrive but air gets very dry very quickly because of the damn heater keeping the temps up!!!!!,

I have decided to either move to Hawaii or grow the humble english rose!

Yes heat is expensive, tell me about it! But I keep the heater from drying the greenhouse out by watering via aprinkler system daiily in the wee hours. The water takes all day to dissipate and forms good humidity. ALso you can increase greenhouse humidity with water features like a small pond.

You could do the same by installing a simple misting system or putting a 35 gal tub full of water in and blowing a small fan across it.

Some plants just aren't meant to be houseplants, and this one is one of those, I think.

Bihai! That is unreal!

Very Jealous!

Still having trouble growing this plant Chris ?
I cannot open your newest post for some reason .
These can be touchy , I recently chopped the top off , of a special large one for a local grower , and it up and died !!
The top had heaps of roots and a sizeable stem .
