Anthurium (magnificum × crystallinum) × Venom Variegated

Anthurium (magnificum × crystallinum) × Venom. Silver-veined velvet meets dark variegation — a broad velvet heart with crystalline white veining, here variegated across every leaf.

The cross

The seed side, magnificum × crystallinum, is a velvet-leaf classic: magnificum's broad, structured heart shape and silver veining crossed with crystallinum's rounded blade and brilliant crystalline silver-white veins — a high-contrast, silver-veined velvet leaf, often with a bronze-to-red flush on new growth.

'Venom' brings the dark, papillilaminum-line depth and the variegation it is known for — laid over that silver-veined velvet. This plant shows high variegation across all three leaves. New leaves flush before hardening to velvet, and variegated velvet is more delicate, leaning on its green to grow. Each leaf is its own.

One specimen. Photographed as received. No restock.

Care, briefly

• Light: Bright indirect — never direct, which marks the velvet and scorches the variegation. 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 — variegated velvet leans on its green, so don't rush it. New leaves emerge flushed and harden over a couple of weeks to velvet.
