Anthurium crystallinum
Crystal Anthurium
Morphology
About
Anthurium crystallinum is one of the foundational velvet anthuriums — a compact, self-supporting species from humid tropical forests spanning Panama to Peru, where it grows terrestrially or occasionally lithophytically on moist, organic-rich substrates in deep shade. The broad, cordate leaves are a deep velvety dark green with an open sinus and strikingly beautiful silvery-white primary venation that gives the plant its crystalline quality. Petioles arise from a short crown with surface roots, and the plant remains neatly self-supporting rather than climbing. As the parent of an enormous number of celebrated hybrids — crystallinum × magnificum, crystallinum × forgetii and many others — this is a species of genuine horticultural importance as well as great beauty in its own right.

Market Analysis & Price Guide
Historical auction metrics and live online retailer listings updated weekly.
How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.
