Anthurium 'Crystallinum Red'

$16.99
Title

Features large silver veins against dark foliage. This gorgeous selection has new leaves which emerge in flush tones of vibrant deep red, copper, or bronze before slowly transitioning into dark velvet-green as they mature. 

Mature leaves are large, heart-shaped, and have a distinctive matte, velvet-like surface. This texture absorbs light rather than reflecting it, making the dark green colour appear deep, moody, and saturated.

Common Pests

Spider Mites

Spider Mites

What To Look For: Very fine webbing under leaves or between stems and leaves (especially in dry indoor air). Leaves may appear stippled (tiny yellow or white dots) or dusty; they may turn yellow, brown or drop. When you tap a leaf onto white paper, you might see tiny moving specks. (Often too small to see easily)

How To Treat: Increase humidity around the plant (since mites thrive in dry air). Spray plant thoroughly (both sides of leaves) with insecticidal soap or a miticide/plant-safe oil; repeat every few days. In heavy infestations, consider removing severely affected sections; isolate the plant.

Thrips

Thrips

What To Look For: Tiny, slender insects are often difficult to see; damage appears as silvery or grey stippling on leaves, distorted growth, or black specks (their feces). May also see uneven colouring, leaf silvering, and leaf edges curling.

How To Treat: Use insecticidal soap, making sure to cover all surfaces, including undersides, and new growth. Trim off and discard severely infested growth. Monitor with sticky traps (blue or white) and isolate the plant.
