Anthurium Red Crystal x splendidum
My first hybrid using what’s arguably one of the most beautiful Anthurium species out there: Anthurium splendidum.
I could sit here and blow smoke up your ass about how the offspring will be dripping in red, but let’s be real - splendidum tends to dominate first-generation hybrids. So, I doubt that’s how it’ll play out.
What I do expect are plants with gorgeous cordate leaves and that signature bullate texture from splendidum, paired with hybrid vigour and a temperament that’s a hell of a lot easier than the pollen parent.
I also think this cross opens up some exciting possibilities for future breeding, especially with the (likely) recessive red crystallinum traits waiting to surface.
