Anthurium Crystal Sky
Anthurium crystallinum × Anthurium besseae aff.
A named hybrid combining two of the most venation-focused velvet anthuriums. A. crystallinum contributes its broadly heart-shaped, deeply velvety leaves and crystalline silver-white venation. A. besseae aff. — the compact Peruvian species celebrated for its bright yellow-green venation, one of the most sought-after traits in collector hybridization — brings vein brilliance and a refined velvet texture. The cross produces dark, velvety cordate leaves with prominent, high-contrast venation branching across the blade. A frequent and desirable parent in further multi-lineage anthurium crosses.
-
Light: Bright but soft indirect light supports the fullest venation contrast and protects the velvet surface from bleaching. Avoid direct sun.
-
Soil: Open, chunky epiphytic mix of orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir with excellent drainage and aeration; never waterlogged.
-
Temperature/Humidity: Warm temperatures between 65-80°F; high humidity of 70-80% is essential for the velvet surface quality and cleanest leaf emergence.
-
Watering: Keep consistently but lightly moist — allow only the top inch to approach dryness between waterings. Never waterlog; never allow to dry out fully.
-
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during active growth; dilute to half strength. Reduce in winter.

I was a little nervous over the weekend. My package was scheduled to arrive last Friday morning but was delayed and ended up delivered Monday afternoon. So it had a weekend at the local post office. My package arrived in true Plantamani favor secured with no leaf damage. There was a little bruising, but it's a plant. Anyway, these things happen with shipping. My plant is larger than I imagined with lots of healthy and plump leaves. I repotted just to get all the shock out the way. He's a big boy, and I think he can take it. Love my plant, and of course, I'm on the lookout for more from this seller!
It took a long time to get the plant but it was well worth the wait and the plant arrived in great condition, heat pack still warm and met my expectations. I expect to make more purchases from this shop to start my anthurium collection.
Received beautiful and healthy plants. Very well packaged and fast delivery. Great seller and will buy again soon.
