1. Select parent plants for their color, venation, texture, shape, vigor, and growth habit. 2. Apply pollen from the chosen pollen parent to a receptive inflorescence. 3. Monitor berry development after a successful pollination. 4. Harvest ripe berries and extract the seeds by hand. 5. Wash and sort the seeds before sowing. 6. Sow fresh Anthurium seeds in a sterile, moisture-retentive growing medium. 7. Watch for germination as roots and first leaves emerge. 8. Grow and monitor the seedlings individually for vigor and health. 9. Select exceptional plants that demonstrate desirable traits. 10. Continue cultivating the strongest selections as possible future Chlorophyll hybrids.
