Anthurium Crystallinum - Grower's Choice

Anthurium crystallinum is a classic velvet-leaved species anthurium native to Central and South America, most notably Colombia and Panama. It is one of the foundational species responsible for the modern popularity of velvet anthuriums in cultivation. The species is distinguished by its broad, cordate leaves with a deep velvety texture and prominent pale to silvery venation that becomes more pronounced as the plant matures. Its elegant form and strong venation contrast make A. crystallinum a staple species for both new and experienced anthurium collectors.
