# Does anyone know why my Anthurium Crystallanium or Velvet Cardboard…

_Posted by Lynda on 2024-06-29_

Does anyone know why my Anthurium Crystallanium or Velvet Cardboard plant keeps its leaves pulled into herself like the below picture. I thought she was getting too much sun so I moved her into a shadier area, but she’s still keeping her leaves pulled in tight against her. It’s very peculiar looking! 👀  
TIA for info… Regards. 😊💚🪴

Do you have it on a high shelf where the leaves are pointing towards the light or are they avoiding the light?

It’s definitely not reaching for light because it’s been on a shelf right in front of a large window. I did wonder if it was getting too much light so I’ve moved it to a darker location. I was hoping I’d see an immediate response but she’s been in that location for several days now, and her leaves are still pulled tightly against her. Just can’t guess what the problem is, but she certainly doesn’t look normal! Txs for your post and any further comments. Regards.…
