Seed Production

• Berries are born off of the pollinated spadix, which is surrounded by the spathe, a modified leaf. An unusual feature of the spadix is that it attaches to a stipe, unlike other Anthurium species. The berries are oval and yellowish orange and contain anywhere from one to 40 seeds.
  
  

Pollination

• Getting berries and seeds is difficult because the male and female parts of the spadix are active at different times. You can save pollen in the freezer and manually pollinate the female flowers when they are active. Dip a cotton swab into the pollen and wiggle it around inside the female flower. It can take a year for berries with mature seeds to be produced.
  
  

Propagation

• Athurium watermaliense seeds are difficult to germinate. They can be grown in a peat and perlite mixture with superior drainage and little soil content. More commonly, Anthurium are grown from tissue cultures because of the erratic seed germination.
