Anthurium Crystallinum Dark Form captivates with its rich, dark green velvety leaves accented by bold silvery veins. A unique and elegant choice for any tropical plant collection.

What You Will Receive:

• A healthy, well-rooted Anthurium Crystallinum Dark Form with 2-3 leaves.
• Plant size may vary depending on stock; please refer to product photos for details.
• Carefully packaged to ensure the plant arrives in perfect condition.

Nocturne Overview
A velvet-leaf heart rendered in deeper greens—often near-black in cushioned light—with luminous, fine-lined venation. Dark Form reads dramatic and composed, holding broad plates on sturdy petioles for a calm, gallery feel.

Key Anatomy

• Botanical: Anthurium crystallinum (Dark Form selection)
• Habit: self-supporting rosette; measured leaf spacing for a clean silhouette
• Blade: plush matte surface; intensified dark ground with chalk-bright mapping
• Interior scale: typically ~40–70 cm (16–28 in) under steady routines
• Companion note: stage beyond pets’ reach

Light & Atmosphere

• Illumination: diffused daylight or sheer-filtered morning sun; shield from hard midday beams to protect the velvet nap.
• Climate: moisture-friendly rooms (~55–70% RH) with gentle air movement.
• Temperature: 20–27 °C (68–81 °F) keeps texture crisp and edges tidy.

Water & Root Zone

• Hydration rhythm: re-water when the upper layer just dries back; flush through and drain fully—no standing water.
• Substrate: open, oxygen-rich matrix—orchid bark + pumice/perlite + coco chips; a light sphagnum accent for buffering.
• Crown set slightly high to discourage basal wetness.

Nutrition & Upkeep

• Feeding: balanced formula at ¼–½ strength during active months; taper as growth slows.
• Grooming: dust leaves gently so vein contrast stays high; remove older plates if they fade to keep the canopy sharp.
• Orientation: quarter-turn the pot every couple of weeks for even leaf presentation.

Placement Ideas
Matte or stone planters echo the velvet surface; position on low consoles where the dark ground and bright linework read at eye level. Pair with glossy aroids for material contrast.
