Anthurium Chrystallinum x Magnificum

Overview
Anthurium crystallinum × magnificum is a highly desirable hybrid that combines the best features of both parent species. It boasts large, velvety, heart-shaped leaves with bold, silvery-white veins, offering dramatic contrast and visual texture. The leaves are typically thicker than crystallinum and more robust than magnificum, making this hybrid both striking and relatively hardy for an aroid.

Care Tips

• Light: Grows best in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the delicate leaf surface.

• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top few centimeters to dry out slightly before re-watering.

• Soil: Requires a chunky, well-aerated mix — ideal components include orchid bark, perlite, peat, and charcoal.

• Humidity & Temperature: Thrives in high humidity (above 60%) and temperatures between 18–28°C. Use a humidifier or place in a humidity-controlled cabinet if needed.

• Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season using a balanced, diluted fertilizer formulated for aroids or foliage plants.
