Anthurium crystallinum is a stunning addition to any vivarium due to its silvery velvety leaves and intense pattern contrast. It is native through Central and South America from Panama to Peru, which includes parts of Ecuador and Columbia. It has iridescence and literally looks like glitter was spilled on it. It does well in moderate, indirect light and high humidity. They root relatively easily when their adventitious roots are bundled in moist, but not wet, Sphagnum moss. The leaves can get quite large.

All of our cuttings have adventitious, aerial roots. Our rooted specimens will have at least a few active roots and will be established plants. Our plants are grown in high humidity in terrariums and greenhouses, therefore may need acclimation to the average home humidity / environment. Please contact us for acclimation information if you are not planning to use this plant in a terrarium, greenhouse, or humid room.
