Anthurium Crystallinum

Quick View
Anthurium Crystallinum
from $26.00

Velvet foliage made to be noticed.

Anthurium Crystallinum is grown for its incredible heart-shaped foliage rather than its flowers. New leaves emerge with warm bronze tones before maturing into deep, velvety green marked by prominent silvery-white veins.

This is a plant for someone ready to give their collection a little extra attention. Crystallinum appreciates bright, indirect light, warmth, good humidity, and an airy growing mix that stays lightly moist without remaining wet.

Light: Bright indirect light
Water: Allow the upper portion of the soil to begin drying between waterings; avoid letting the root zone remain soggy
Difficulty: Moderate
Growth: Upright and compact
Pet info: Keep out of pets’ reach

What you’ll receive
One Anthurium Crystallinum (Anthurium crystallinum) in the nursery pot size selected. Every plant develops differently, so height, leaf count, leaf size, coloration, shape, and veining will naturally vary.

Please note: New leaves may emerge significantly lighter or bronze before hardening and developing their mature coloration. Decorative pots and accessories are not included unless specifically stated. Plants may experience minor cosmetic or shipping stress during transit. See our Live Arrival Guarantee for details.

Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’ Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’ Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’

Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’
from $38.00

Wild texture from edge to edge.

Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’ stands out with deeply lobed, arrow-shaped leaves covered in an almost reptilian texture. Dark green veins contrast against brighter green foliage, while the unusual leaf shape gives this Alocasia a distinctly untamed look.

Like other Alocasias, Jacklyn appreciates warmth, humidity, bright indirect light, and consistent care. Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged, and give it enough light to support strong, compact growth.

Light: Bright indirect light
Water: Water when the upper portion of the soil begins to dry; avoid letting it remain soggy
Difficulty: Moderate
Growth: Upright
Pet info: Keep out of pets’ reach

What you’ll receive
One Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’ (Alocasia tandurusa ‘Jacklyn’) in the nursery-pot size selected. Height, leaf count, leaf size, coloration, and shape naturally vary between plants.

Please note: Alocasias may occasionally lose an older leaf as they acclimate to a new environment. Decorative pots and accessories are not included unless specifically stated. Minor cosmetic or shipping stress may occur during transit. See our Live Arrival Guarantee for details.

Blue Star Fern Blue Star Fern Blue Star Fern

Quick View
Blue Star Fern
from $26.00

A fern that does things a little differently.

Blue Star Fern stands out with elongated, wavy fronds in an unusual dusty blue green color. Its foliage has a relaxed, almost sculptural growth habit that gives it a very different look from traditional feathery ferns.

It appreciates consistent moisture and humidity but is generally more forgiving than many traditional ferns. Give it indirect light, avoid letting the soil completely dry out for long periods, and let its unusual foliage do the rest.

Light: Medium to bright indirect light
Water: Keep lightly moist, allowing the surface to begin drying between waterings
Difficulty: Moderate
Growth: Spreading and arching
Pet info: Generally considered pet friendly

What you’ll receive
One Blue Star Fern (Phlebodium aureum) in the nursery pot size selected. Because every plant is naturally different, height, fullness, frond count, shape, and blue green coloration will vary.

Please note: Decorative pots and accessories shown in photographs are not included unless specifically stated. Fern foliage can experience minor cosmetic damage or shipping stress during transit. See our Live Arrival Guarantee for details.

Ficus Ruby Rubber Tree
from $26.00

A rubber tree with a serious flush of color.

Ficus Ruby takes the classic rubber tree and adds variegation in shades of green, cream, pink, and ruby red. New growth can emerge especially colorful before developing its mature variegated pattern.

Bright light is the key to keeping Ruby looking its best. Give it plenty of bright indirect light, let the soil partially dry between waterings, and avoid keeping the roots constantly wet.

Light: Bright indirect light
Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering
Difficulty: Easy
Growth: Upright
Pet info: Keep out of pets’ reach

What you’ll receive
One Ficus Ruby (Ficus elastica ‘Ruby’) in the nursery-pot size selected. Height, fullness, leaf count, variegation, and pink or red coloration naturally vary between plants.

Please note: Ruby coloration varies naturally and is influenced by growing conditions and light. Individual plants will not exactly match the plant photographed. Decorative pots and accessories are not included unless specifically stated. Minor cosmetic or shipping stress may occur during transit. See our Live Arrival Guarantee for details.
