Anthurium crystalliinum grows primarily as a terrestrial form, but it also has been observed growing as an epiphyte on the branches of trees. Attractive, dark green velvety leaves with pale green veins. New leaf blades as well as undersides of adult leaf and petiole sometimes tinged violet red. Produces a reddish tinged spathe with a yellow spadix, the spadix has a very faint and pleasant aroma once the stamens emerge! Looks amazing when grown in a hanging basket as long as the media has excellent drainage, but make sure the media is never allowed to completely dry.

Requires medium to bright indirect light. Water thoroughly when the top 1"-2" of soil is dry, make sure you discard any excess water left in saucer. Keep above 60F. Anthurium species are known to be highly variable and not every leaf of every specimen will always appear the same.

~Do Not let Anthurium sit in excess water. Anthurium are prone to rot if left with “wet feet”. Once watered, make sure to drain any extra water.

~Do Not place in full sun or extreme high light. In the wild Anthurium either grow in the understory or among the forest floor where they would receive bright but filtered sunlight.

~Anthurium need a well draining potting mix. If you repot your Anthurium make sure it is an airy substrate.
