Anthurium "Silver Blush"

Araceae · A selection of Anthurium crystallinum (Central and South America)

€50 – €90 · Coming soon

A selection of Anthurium crystallinum with silver venation far broader than usual: the pale zone spreads out from the central veins and fades into velvety dark green — the "blush" of the name. It gets confused with 'Dorayaki', which has only the broad silver veins, not the diffuse pale field. Fleshy, epiphytic roots: it wants a coarse substrate that air can move through, and in potting compost it rots.
