The present study was carried out at the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences (INCA), with the objective of evaluating Anthurium vitroplant acclimatization. Thus, varietal influence on vitroplant behaviour of Tropical, Merengue and Sonate varieties was considered, after recording their survival by means of countings from the 15 up to 90 days of being transplanted. The influence of vitroplant size was also taken into account, so that three groups were formed according to its height: small (<2.5 cm), medium (2.5-3.5 cm) and big (>4 cm) ones. Vitroplant survival was likewise evaluated per each group through physically counting them. Transplanting time was another factor considered in the study, evaluating its influence on vitroplant behaviour in May, July, October and December. Results confirm that despite survival dynamics marked a very similar tendency independently of the variety, its absolute values were notably different, standing out the Tropical variety with the biggest percentages of survival, whereas Sonate showed the lowest survival. On the other hand, vitroplant size had a significant influence on their survival in favour of the biggest ones; however, their survival proved not to be influenced by transplanting time.
