Anthurium crystallinum is a rare and striking houseplant with large, bright green, velvet-textured leaves that give it a jungle look. Compared to the more common Anthurium clarinervium, the crystallinum has faster growth and broader leaves. Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, it thrives in warm, humid environments and can grow up to 2 meters tall but don't expect to see those sort of sizes in the UK!
To care for it, replicate its natural habitat with warm, humid conditions, bright filtered light, and a well-draining, organic-rich potting mix. Water when the top 5cm of soil is dry. Its dramatic appearance makes it ideal for adding tropical elegance to any room, whether displayed on a plant stand, in a hanging basket, or as a standalone statement piece.
