4" Specialty Anthurium Crystallinum x Magnificum Dark
4" Anthurium Crystal x Mag Dark
This unique Anthurium hybrid brings together the best traits of its parent varieties, offering striking foliage in a compact 4" form. Here’s how to keep it thriving:
-
Light:
Place your Anthurium in a spot with bright, indirect light. While it tolerates lower light levels, consistent, filtered light helps maintain vibrant colors and healthy foliage. -
Watering:
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, taking care not to overwater. Proper drainage is essential to prevent root rot, so ensure your container has drainage holes. -
Soil:
Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix. For optimal growth, consider premium soils like Tank's Green Stuff or Fox Farm's Happy Frog. These blends help balance moisture retention with excellent aeration. -
Temperature & Humidity:
Anthuriums thrive in warm, humid conditions. Aim for temperatures between 65°F and 80°F and maintain moderate to high humidity. If your indoor air is dry, occasional misting or a humidifier can be beneficial. -
Fertilizing:
Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop feeding in the cooler months when growth naturally slows. -
Repotting & Maintenance:
As a compact specimen, this Anthurium may remain in its 4" container for a while. However, repot when you notice roots crowding the pot or when growth appears stunted. Regularly remove any yellowed or damaged leaves to encourage new growth.
