Product description

A breathtaking hybrid from Anth. crystallinum and Anth. warocqueanum, Crystal Queen inherits the crisp, high-contrast white venation of crystallinum set against the elongated, velvety dark green blades characteristic of warocqueanum — a truly regal combination for the discerning collector. Light: Bright, indirect light; consistent diffused light maximizes the brilliance of the white venation while protecting the velvety surface. Temperature: Intermediate to warm-growing — 65–82°F (18–28°C); avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C). Humidity: Prefers 65–85%; elevated humidity is essential to maintain the velvety leaf texture and overall plant vigor. Watering: Water thoroughly when the top layer of substrate begins to dry; a chunky, well-draining aroid mix prevents root rot and supports healthy root development. Growth Habit: Upright to semi-pendant terrestrial grower; produces large, elongated leaves that hang gracefully with maturity — ideal on elevated staging or in a tall planter. Additional Notes: Foliage displays long, narrowly cordate leaves with a deep matte-velvety green surface and bold, precisely defined white primary venation — a hallmark of the crystallinum lineage. Leaf length, venation sharpness, and overall presence increase dramatically as the plant matures, solidifying Crystal Queen as a statement piece in any premium aroid collection.
