Anthurium Crystallinum 4”

The Anthurium crystallinum is a stunning tropical plant prized for its velvety, dark green leaves and striking, silvery-white veins that look almost hand-painted. Native to Central and South America, this aroid has become a favorite among collectors for its bold, heart-shaped foliage that brings an elegant, exotic vibe to any plant collection. Its shimmering venation catches light beautifully, making it a true statement plant indoors.

Crystallinum thrives in bright, indirect light, such as near an east-facing window or a filtered south-facing spot. Too much direct sun can scorch its delicate leaves, while too little light slows its growth and dulls the vibrancy of its veins. Like most Anthuriums, it prefers high humidity, warmth, and well-draining soil that stays slightly moist but never soggy. With the right environment, new leaves unfurl regularly, each one larger and more striking than the last.

Caring for an Anthurium crystallinum also means supporting its natural growth habits. It’s a slow but steady grower, and providing a chunky, aroid-friendly soil mix helps its roots breathe and stay healthy. Regular rotation ensures even growth toward the light, while gentle fertilization during the growing season boosts leaf size and color.
