The wonderful Anthurium hybrids and 6 pretty species to dream about.

The Anthurium is known for its mesmerizing foliage, showing a diverse range of shapes, colours, and textures. From striking veins to beautiful patterns, each species has its own unique charm, leaving PLNTSlovers breathless. It's no wonder why so many plant enthusiasts have fallen head over heels for this botanical family – we certainly have! ;)

Plant lovers and plant companies who specialize in growing have cleverly mixed two beautiful plants together to create a unique hybrid with the best qualities of both. And the results? Simply spectacular! But before we dive into different hybrid Anthuriums, let's first see how these amazing plants are made!

How is an Anthurium hybrid made?

In plant terms, "hybrid" refers to a plant that is the result of crossing two different plant varieties or species to create new baby plants with specific desired features. There are several methods for crossbreeding plants, including cross-pollination, manual pollination, and genetic modification. Cross-pollination occurs in nature, when insects transfer pollen from one plant to another, resulting in the pollination of different species. Manual pollination, on the other hand, involves hand-assisted pollination rather than relying on insects, mimicking the natural process. There are growers and plant lovers who managed to do this and create new plants! The last technique is very technical and is called genetic modification. This technique involves changing the genes of plants to give them specific traits. Pretty fascinating, isn't it?

Little disclaimer before we dive into great species, hybrids can differ from each other. This works with genetics that are slightly different in every plant. That is why yours might look different, from the ones shown here. But after all that is the magic and beauty when it comes to collecting hybrids.

Anthurium Crystallinum x Luxurians

You might see less of the desired Crystallinum in this hybrid, since the Luxurians is really prominent within this hybrid. However, the distinctive shape leans more towards the Crystallinum. It's intriguing to wonder how this lovely hybrid will further evolve under your nurturing care.
