A stunning velvet-leaved hybrid bred from Anth. crystallinum crossed with Anth. Silver Blush, combining the iconic crystalline white venation of crystallinum with the silvery, luminous leaf surface of its Silver Blush parent. The result is a large-leaved collector's aroid with exceptional foliage presence and a refined, almost metallic sheen that sets it apart in any collection.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun, which can bleach the delicate leaf surface. Thrives near a filtered window or under grow lights.
-
Temperature: Intermediate to warm growing. 65–80°F (18–27°C); protect from temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
-
Humidity: 70–90%; high humidity is essential to maintain the velvety leaf texture and prevent tip browning. A humidifier is strongly recommended.
-
Watering: Water when the top inch of substrate dries out; ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot. Never allow to sit in standing water.
Additional Notes:
Foliage is large, heart-shaped, and deeply velvety, displaying bold white-silver venation on a rich dark green background — a direct inheritance from both parents. Plant in a well-draining, chunky aroid mix (bark, perlite, and sphagnum moss). Fertilize monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season. Each leaf may vary slightly in venation pattern and silver intensity.
