Anthurium Gestation Times (Time to make seed)

Here I will compile a list of my observed approximate times that it takes for various species to go from pollination to seed harvest.  This will vary a bit between individuals of the same species, in different conditions (ie lighting, fertilization) and depending on plant health and maturity.  This still serves as a relative guideline of what to expect.  Most of these plants will be in section Cardiolonchium since this is the primary focus of my breeding efforts with a couple of individuals from section Andiphilum.  Hybrids will typically fall some where between the two parents favoring the seed parent.

Section Cardiolonchium

carlablackiae 2-2.5 months

antolakii (BVEP) 2-2.5 months

papillilaminum 3-3.5 months

dressleri 3.5-4 months

kunayalense 4-4.5 months

besseae aff (quite variable potentially due to this being multiple species under one name?) 5-9 months

luxurians 10-15 months (I have heard of even longer times but suspect extenuating circumstances)

Section Andiphilum

clarinervium 9-12 months

King of Clarinervium (presumed clarinervium mutation) 9-12 months

Delta Force (clarinervium x pedatoradiatum hybrid) 12-15 months
