My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
I found this at Garage sale and I think its an Anthurium. I wanted to know if I could plant it in the ground. It really likes the pot and grows real fast but I'm curious how it would grow in the ground. The flowers last a long time and its direct sun sensitive. Any planting in the ground suggestions?
I agree with Bihai - it's Anthurium scherzerianum. As for growing it in the ground, my guess ( and it's only a guess ) is that you'd run into three problems:
1) This plant is somewhat marginal outside, depending on exactly what part of zone 9B you are in - it won't be too happy with low humidity or hot sun, and it doesn't deal well with prolonged cold, wet weather.
2) Drainage - I'd be willing to bet that in a winter rainfall climate, this plant will have problems with less than perfect drainage. Most outside beds have less than perfect drainage.
3) It's a medium elevation tropical plant, commonly found in Costa Rica. I'd guess it won't deal well with freezes, though it may do okay with occasional moderate cold. I've seen cultivars of Scherzianum growing outside year round in Southern California very close to the ocean, but otherwise, most people grow this inside, even in 9B...
I'm a Z8b SE Tx coastal.I do grow mine in the ground,but I lift it also.It grows in my shade bed.It gets about 2 hours morning sun,bright shade most of day.We have enough humidity we can manufacture it.When my nights dip into the low 50s.I pot it up in a orchiad type mix.Its cold GH on porch(screnned porch covered with 6 mil plastic and vented at top,for lowering humidity)on cold nights plants are covered with sheets& few lights are on.I bought a pink& red on clearance end-of-season for like 42 cents.I did have a yellow and it got water issues.if you see a yellow they are very pretty also.My red does best& will be finding a new hole next summer as RITA has retreescaped that part of bed& pink got punched,but shes regaining leaves.so is hope.Oh& that bed is slightly raised,but only about 4 inches.
For whatever reason, A. scherzerianum is not very common here. We have all sorts of andreanums, and can get the foliage types down in So Fl, but I never see the pig tails. I like them a lot and want some of them.
