Anthurium Crystallinum Turtle, is a stunning hybrid of the Crystal Anthurium, celebrated for its ornamental foliage that captivates with both texture and pattern. This plant features large, heart-shaped leaves that are lush and velvety to the touch, creating a luxurious visual appeal. The most striking feature of these leaves is their distinctive silver veining, which intricately patterns across the dark green surface, closely resembling the intricate designs of a turtle's shell. This resemblance not only gives the plant its name but also makes it a sought-after variety for collectors and enthusiasts seeking unique botanical specimens for their indoor spaces.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

Pro tips

Keep the Anthurium Crystallinum Turtle away from direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. Maintaining high humidity is key to preventing crispy leaf edges and promoting healthy growth. When watering, ensure to allow excess water to drain away to prevent root rot. Clean the leaves regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and enhance the plant's aesthetic appeal. Prune any yellowing or dead leaves to encourage healthier growth and maintain its ornamental look.

Care Guide

How to take care of Anthurium Crystallinum Turtle

Sun: Indirect

Anthurium Crystallinum Turtle should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Bright

Anthurium Crystallinum Turtle will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Anthurium Crystallinum Turtle needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: High

Anthurium Crystallinum Turtle likes a high humidity environment, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

Pet Caution

Anthurium Crystallinum Turtle is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.
