Anthurium crystallinum is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae, native to rainforest margins in Central and South America, from Panama to Peru.
Growing to around 90 cm (35 in) tall and wide, A. crystallinum is an epiphytic perennial evergreen (in certain environments), known for its dark green and velvety-textured, heart-shaped leaves featuring prominent white veining, and somewhat resembles a smaller version of Anthurium magnificum.
The inflorescence is a somewhat visually-nondescript spathe with a pale green spadix (though ripening to red berries after pollination), appearing throughout the year.
[4] The species is sometimes superficially confused with A. clarinervium and A. magnificum, both of which look rather similar, albeit differing in size and leaf presentation.
Today, A. crystallinum is widely bred, cultivated and hybridised, and has become fairly common on the plant market (albeit not generally in big-box stores or supermarkets that sell houseplants); high-quality, healthy plants are readily available online or from independent nurseries and growers.
