NYCitySucculents Anthurium Crystallinum

While it arrives in a compact 2-inch starter pot, this variety can eventually produce leaves up to a foot or more in length. Its growth rate is moderate, and it will need to be repotted into a larger container as it matures.

No, the Anthurium Crystallinum is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation to the mouth, tongue, and throat, so it is best kept in a location inaccessible to curious pets.

This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate, velvety leaves, but ensure it gets enough ambient light to maintain its striking veining.

Anthuriums love humidity. You can maintain the necessary environment by grouping it with other plants, using a pebble tray, or placing it in a room with higher ambient moisture like a bathroom or kitchen.

It is best to let the plant acclimate to your home's environment for a few weeks before repotting. Moving it too quickly can cause transplant shock, so wait until you see roots growing out of the drainage holes.
