Variegated Crystallinum Anthurium
Morphology
About
Anthurium crystallinum 'Variegated' is a spectacular, velvet-leafed understory aroid native to the regions between Panama and Colombia. Loved for its heart-shaped leaves with silver veins that catch light, the variegated cultivar exhibits stunning cream-to-yellow marbling and sectors across the dark green surface. It requires warm, highly humid conditions and filtered indirect light to prevent the delicate white areas from burning.

Velvet in the Glasshouse
Right, another sweltering afternoon in the glasshouse, though it’s hardly Panama, is it? One practically needs a mug of lukewarm Earl Grey to cope. Still, the rewards for such mild suffering are immense. Take this Anthurium crystallinum 'Variegated'. Its wild brethren, originating from Panama to Colombia, are elegant understory dwellers, first brought to wider attention in the late 19th century. This cultivar takes that elegance to an entirely new level. The elongated cordate leaves, so wonderfully velvety, sport those classic silvery veins. But the variegation – cream-to-yellow sectors that dance across the deep green – well, it's just splendid. Demands high humidity, naturally, and a fair bit of filtered light; wouldn’t want those precious white bits to crisp up. Definately not one for the uninitiated, or those unwilling to commit to a proper tropical environment.
