Anthurium Crystallinum 'Marble'

Anthurium crystallinum 'Marble'. The marble-variegated form of the crystal-veined classic — velvet, rounded heart leaves with brilliant silver veining, broken here with cream marbling.

The species

Anthurium crystallinum is the crystal-veined velvet classic — rounded, heart-shaped deep-green leaves with a soft velvet sheen and brilliant silver-white veining that looks etched into the surface, carried on new growth that flushes bronze to red. It is an epiphyte from the forests of Central and South America.

The 'Marble' is the variegated form — creamy, pale marbling scattered across the velvet blade, different on every leaf, set against those crystalline veins. Variegated velvet is more delicate and leans on its green to grow.

This specimen

One specimen. Photographed as received. No restock.

Care, briefly

• Light: Bright indirect — never direct, which marks the velvet and scorches the marbling. Good light keeps the variegation clean.
• Water: Lightly and evenly moist — never wet — letting the surface just dry between waterings. Keep water off the velvet.
• Humidity: 65%+. Velvet anthuriums, and variegated ones especially, brown at the edges in dry air.
• Mix: Airy, chunky epiphytic mix — bark, perlite and charcoal — fast-draining.
• Warmth: 20–27°C. No cold draughts, nothing below 15°C.
• Pace: Steady — new leaves emerge flushed and crystalline, hardening to velvet over a couple of weeks.
