This is a beautiful Anthurium hybrid that was originally bred by Dr. Block in collaboration with Tezula Plants. It is famous for the color of its emergent leaves, which can range from crimson red to a royal purple color. Seedlings will display distinctive coloration by the time they're juveniles, after about five leaves.
The seedlings offered at our shop come from a local source, and have not suffered transport or acclimation stress of any kind. They can be grown in ambient humidity of 60% or above. They are also a good candidate for a cabinet terrarium. The mother plant pictured here was purchased from NSE Tropicals and was self pollinated in San Francisco. Red crystals descended from Enid at NSE Tropicals are known for their symmetrical heart shaped leaves, more bifurcated lobes, and will grow larger than a Tezula Red Crystal. The mother plant is pictured.
