Anthurium 'Red Crystallinum' is a striking and highly sought-after cultivar of the Anthurium family, known for its luxurious, velvety foliage and bold, deep red veins that create a dramatic contrast against the dark green leaves. The large, heart-shaped leaves are the star of this plant, often reaching up to 12 inches long, with a prominent, shiny texture that adds to its overall elegance. The veins of the leaves are typically a vibrant, reddish color, which is where the name "Red Crystallinum" comes from, referring to the eye-catching red veining that gives the plant a crystalline appearance when light catches it just right.
Native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, Anthurium 'Red Crystallinum' thrives in humid, warm environments and requires bright, indirect light to maintain its striking appearance. While the plant is relatively low-maintenance, it does prefer consistent moisture and a well-draining, slightly acidic soil mix. It’s essential to avoid overwatering, as standing water can lead to root rot.
