It is relatively easy to propagate your potted anthuriums by taking cuttings, but it is also just a little boring, simply because the brand new plants are going to be precise copies of their parent plants. If you wish to generate fresh types of anthurium flowers, you'll need to grow them through seed. The hardest aspect of growing them through seed is getting seeds to develop in the first place. To get this done, you'll need to learn how to pollinate anthuriums.
Anthurium blossoms are perfect, meaning that they include both male and female parts. Yet, they typically do not self pollinate, because pollen is not produced until after the stigma stops being responsive to pollination. This ensures that wild plants are cross pollinated as frequently as possible to increase the genetic diversity of the species. Therefore, unless you have two plants, you will need to store pollen until your plant is ready for pollination.
