Anthurium forgetii x nigrolaminum 'Gigi'

Anthurium forgetii x nigrolaminum 'Gigi' is a compact hybrid with dark velvet leaves, rounded foliage and pale to silvery veins. It combines the closed upper leaf shape of Anthurium forgetii with the darker leaf colour of Anthurium nigrolaminum.

Mature leaves are usually dark and velvety, with pale veins. Shape can vary: some leaves become broad and rounded, while others mature slightly longer or darker.

Dark rounded hybrid foliage

  • Growth: Compact Anthurium hybrid with a small-to-medium crown.
  • Leaf shape: Rounded velvet leaves with a closed or nearly closed upper outline.
  • Colour: Dark green to deep-toned mature leaves.
  • Veins: Pale to silvery veins over a velvet surface.
  • Leaf variation: Leaf roundness, darkness and vein strength can differ between plants.
  • Root care: Warmth, steady moisture and an airy Anthurium mix.

Rounded leaves and darker colour

A. forgetii gives the hybrid its rounded leaf influence, while A. nigrolaminum adds a darker velvet surface. The plant stays compact, with dark leaves and pale veins.

A settled root system usually leads to firmer petioles and broader new leaves. Young plants may look smaller or less rounded at first, then produce broader leaves with more visible veins as the roots fill the pot.

Anthurium 'Gigi' care

  • Light: Give bright filtered light. Dark velvet leaves develop well in steady indirect light.
  • Watering: Water when the upper layer of mix starts to dry and the pot feels lighter.
  • Substrate: Use a fine-to-medium chunky mix with bark, coco chips or coarse fibre, pumice or perlite.
  • Pot fit: Use a pot close to the root size and avoid oversized containers.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves open smoothly, especially while still soft.
  • Temperature: Warm indoor conditions around 20–28 °C support consistent new growth.
  • Feeding: Feed with a weak fertiliser during active growth. Rinse the mix with low-mineral water if salts build up.
  • Repotting: Move up one pot size when roots fill the container or the mix starts to break down.
  • Leaf care: Clean mature leaves gently with a soft damp cloth. New velvet leaves mark easily.
  • Propagation: Propagate by division or stem sections with nodes. New plants from seed may not keep the same leaf shape, colour or texture.

Common issues with Anthurium 'Gigi'

  • Soft yellowing leaves: Check the lower pot for dense, wet substrate or cool roots.
  • Brown tips: Usually linked to watering swings, mineral buildup, low humidity or stressed roots.
  • Deformed new growth: Inspect the newest leaf and new leaf sheath for thrips, mites or physical damage.
  • Dull foliage: Dust, weak light or root stress can make the leaf surface look flat.
  • Marks on young leaves: Soft tissue can mark when water sits on it or when leaves are handled while unfurling.

Flowers on Anthurium 'Gigi'

Flowering is possible once the plant is mature. The inflorescence has the usual Anthurium spathe and spadix, with details that can vary in this hybrid.

Pets and handling

Like other Anthuriums, 'Gigi' contains calcium oxalate crystals. Plant material can irritate the mouth and throat if eaten, and sap may bother sensitive skin or eyes. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children.

Name meaning

Anthurium refers to the spadix. forgetii honours Monsieur Forget, and nigrolaminum points to dark leaf-blade colour. 'Gigi' is the name used for this hybrid.

An Inspiration
After watching a video by one of my favorite youtubers discussing comics and this book, I had to buy it. I have always loved Kate Kane since started Batwoman 52 about a year ago, and was very excited to purchase this graphic novel. My expectations were very high, yet this book still managed to exceed them! Williams and Rucka are both extremely talented gentlemen. As the introduction points out, they really do convince you that these characters are real. You almost can't believe Kate isn't an actual human being, and you can really imagine meeting her in real life. I also was very (if not more) impressed with the artwork. The compositions are simply stunning, and completely original. I absolutely love how the scenes with Kate as Batwoman are illustrated with lots of detail and fluidity. It really has an eery watercolor effect, with great linework and color. This completely contrasts the scenes where Kate is either out on the town or in her home. Much more graphic, but still delightful. The costumes in this series are also amazing. Both Kate and her foe have some stunning outfits, and are very unique. Since I had already read Batwoman 52, I knew how everything that was going to go down. A lot of this book was her origin and was very interesting. And although I already knew what was going to happen, it still managed to make me cry. Don't think it won't be exciting or interesting just because you already know her origin, Williams and Rucka really pull you in and keep it very exciting. Kate Kane is definitely my comic book hero, and is truly an inspiration. If you are just getting into Batwoman or comics, this is a great place to start. Of course you may be disappointed when no other series can compare! What a shame Batwoman 52 is about to come to an end, this really is as good as it gets people, and I am very sad to see such a creative and talented team leave, but I do understand completely. I highly recommend this book to Kate Kane, DC and comic book fans everywhere! Enjoy!

Renews faith in comics
Decided to dive into the DC Comics New 52 and in preparation for Batwoman #1, I decided to pick up this book as a recommendation to getting the full story on this relatively new character to the DC world. This comic renewed my faith in comic books as both great stories and great pieces of art! Greg Rucka crafts a great story here but the artist JH Williams III presents it to you. You get to know this character here in more ways than just a quick reference. Batwoman is given the desire to serve her fellow man as her motivation. She is given the demographic of a Jewish lesbian soldier with a solid family background which is something we don't see much in our universe of white dominated or scarred superheroes. Sure she lost her mother and twin sister as at a young age, but she isn't damaged here. She rises above and serves only to be disappointed by trust issues in her life. But Rucka and Williams make her a bold woman who just keeps going like a shark, surviving because its her instinct and not her desire to escape something. This is the 21st Century woman superhero. Panels of note for me were: 1) how they presented the apartment Batwoman's alter ego lived in, 2) a beautiful full page spread showing the fight on the plane between Batwoman and Alice, 3) a transition panel where Batwoman and Alice are shown on the phone to each other, 4) a touching series where Batwoman as a child and her twin sister realize they are moving because of military orders and their life will change and they swear to always be there for each other. If you want to take a chance on the DC Comics reboot, take a chance on Batwoman #1 and get this one to bring you up to speed, you won't be sorry. A great twist for any new reader wanting to test the graphic novel/comic book scene.

Beautiful Art, Compelling Story
The birth of Kate Kane as Batwoman is one of my favorite graphic novels in my collection. I already owned the digital edition on my iPad, but the art by J.H. Williams was just too amazing not to see in print. This artist knows how to draw beautifully artistic pages; right down to the panels themselves. I also love the style shift from nighttime Batwoman to daytime Kate Kane. The story is really great, especially the ending of Elegy! I also really loved the back stories that follow, showing the history of Kate Kane and how she became the Batwoman. Its also good to know that the New 52 timeline in DC didn't delete all this continuity. Batwoman isn't another Batman flunkie. She's a strong woman and an amazing character that Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams really bring to life in this book.

Better Than Batman!
This is by far one of the best Batman titles that doesn't include Batman as the title character. I'm not much of a reader of Batman, but I have been very interested in Batwoman since I read the 52 series back in 2006. The story line itself is much better then when 52 presented her for the first time. I really like how Rucka focused more on her homosexuality and making her an identical twin too (since I'm a twin myself). However, what blew me away the most was the artwork. Williams really focuses on covering the entire page with art and color; giving you the full comic book art experience. I have seen and very much liked his work in Promethea and think this is just as good. Batwoman is now my second favorite super heroine after Wonder Woman of course.
