Scientific Name
Anthurium crystallinum 'Silver Blush' (Flower-tail that looks like crystal, variety Silver Blush)

Common Name
Crystal Anthurium, Crystal Laceleaf, Jungle Bush, Flamingo Plant, Silver Blush Anthurium

Origin
Native to the margins of rainforests in South & Central America, ranging from Panama to Peru.

Description
This Anthurium's foliage is what really makes it stand out. The silver-white veins across its leaves make it shine like a gemstone; in this rare variety, the silver variegations spreads out from the veins, forming a shining 'blush' along the grooves. The heart-shaped, velvet-green foliage will also stand out wherever you place it. Used to the edge of the rainforest, this plant likes high humidity and indirect light just like the dappled tropical undergrowth. It grows on tree trunks or stones rather than into soil (a characteristic described as epiphytic) so prefers to feel the air on its roots than soggy soil. A rare sight, this stunning foliage will bring a little bit of rainforest glamour into your home.

Light

Bright, indirect light is best for your Anthurium crystallinum. It can take a little early morning or late afternoon sun but nothing more intense.

Water

Allow a third of the soil to dry out between waterings in spring and summer, and dry a little more in autumn and winter. Since Anthuriums are epiphytic, they are not tolerant to waterlogging!

Humidity
Loves high humidity; will benefit from regular misting or use of a humidity tray, especially where it gets a lot of light.

Soil
Plant in well-draining soil; a mix with added bark for drainage would complement its epiphytic nature. Look for specific Anthurium or Orchid mixes. Repot every three years only if absolutely necessary.

Food
Fertilise about once a month in the growing season, this can be reduced in autumn and winter. Make sure to water at the same time to look after this plant's sensitive roots!

Temperature

Likes warmer temperatures over 19°C in the day, must stay between 12-28°C

Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.

Sprouts Top Tips
The key with this one is moisture in the right places- it does not like soggy roots but does like high humidity, so try misting it or introducing a humidity tray and don't leave it standing in water without an opportunity to dry out.

 

 

Important Information

If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact form

We're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.

Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.

If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.

We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.

We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.

If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.

Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.

Our standard parcel delivery service is £4.99 for Royal Mail Tracked48, you can upgrade to Tracked24 for £2.50.

We do offer a Tracked48 Large Letter option for £2.99, and Tracked24 for £1 extra, but this only applies to products less than 2.5cm thick.

*Deliveries 7 days a week only included Tracked24 parcels.
