How to Care for the Plant

Water
Anthurium crystallinum care should resemble their natural environs in the tropical rainforests of Panama where it’s quite wet. But you must note how they grow. Their roots are literally exposed to air and dry out as quickly as they get wet.If the potting mix and the planter you’ve used drain excellently well then yes, you can water regularly.
Fertilizer
Like any houseplant, our Crystal Anthurium has its nutrition needs for optimum growth. But Anthurium crystallinum care needs little once the potting mix is well enriched with organic content. You may however use well-balanced fertilizer to improve the growth.
Sunlight
Anthurium crystallinum care requires 70-85% sunlight, in other words, consistent exposure to bright light. Outdoors you can either grow Crystal Anthurium under a 20-40% shade cloth or under the share of a tree.
