Anthurium forgetii

Anthurium forgetii is a Colombian velvet Anthurium with rounded, peltate leaves. The petiole attaches beneath the blade, creating a smooth closed upper outline so each leaf reads as a clean shield of deep green velvet.

The pale veins radiate from the attachment point and sharpen as the blade matures. The plant usually stays compact in a pot, producing fewer leaves than faster-growing foliage plants, but each well-grown leaf has a clear shield outline and a durable velvet surface.

What stands out on Anthurium forgetii

  • Growth habit: Compact Anthurium with upright petioles from a short central stem.
  • Leaf form: Rounded peltate blades with a closed upper outline.
  • Surface: Velvety deep green foliage with a soft, matte sheen.
  • Venation: Pale veins spread from the petiole attachment point.
  • Pot growth: Slow to moderate, with firmer new leaves after the root ball has settled into the mix.

Closed-sinus foliage and Colombian origin

Anthurium forgetii is native to Colombia and grows in the wet tropical biome. Its peltate leaf attachment is the plant’s defining feature, giving the foliage a rounded, uninterrupted shape that looks especially clean when the plant is grown in good filtered light.

In indoor cultivation, the root zone has to stay evenly moist and airy. A compact plant can still have thick, sensitive Anthurium roots, so heavy potting mixes and oversized containers quickly affect leaf size, petiole firmness and new growth quality.

Care for Anthurium forgetii

  • Light: Grow in bright filtered light. Firm petioles and clear vein contrast develop in bright shade, while harsh sun can scar the velvet surface.
  • Watering: Water once the upper 20–30% of the mix has dried. Keep moisture steady through the root zone, then drain thoroughly.
  • Substrate: Use a fine-to-medium chunky Anthurium mix with bark, coco chips, pumice or perlite, and a modest moisture-retentive part.
  • Pot fit: Keep the pot proportionate to the root ball. A compact root system grows better in a container that dries evenly.
  • Humidity: Aim for 60–80% humidity while leaves are expanding. Gentle airflow helps prevent spotting on soft new tissue.
  • Temperature: Maintain 20–27°C where possible. Growth slows quickly when cool roots sit in damp substrate.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. A weak regular feed suits this plant better than occasional heavy doses.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots circle the pot or the mix begins to collapse. Handle the root ball gently to reduce pauses in growth.
  • Leaf care: Remove dust with a soft, barely damp cloth. Rubbing can leave visible marks on the velvet surface.
  • Propagation: Propagate from divisions or stem sections with nodes once the plant has enough mature growth.

Common issues on Anthurium forgetii

  • Soft yellowing leaves: Check the lower pot for stale moisture, compacted mix or cool conditions.
  • Brown margins: Review humidity, watering pattern, fertiliser strength and mineral build-up.
  • Small new leaves: Inspect root health first, then light level. Root stress usually shows in the next leaf.
  • Distorted growth: Check emerging leaves for thrips, mites or dry-air damage during expansion.
  • Surface marks: Look for water spotting, handling pressure or direct sun on the velvet blade.

A steady sequence of firm, rounded leaves points to active roots and even moisture. Warmth, airflow and a lightly moist substrate keep the compact crown producing clean, closed-sinus blades.

Anthurium forgetii handling safety

Anthurium forgetii contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can cause oral irritation, drooling, swelling and digestive discomfort if ingested. Keep the plant away from pets and children that may chew plant material, and avoid contact with sap from cut or damaged tissue.

Anthurium forgetii name origin

Anthurium forgetii N.E.Br. is an accepted species in Araceae and was first published in 1906. The Greek-derived genus name Anthurium combines words for “flower” and “tail”, referring to the spadix. The species epithet honours Monsieur Forget, the collector recorded for the name.

Anthurium forgetii finishes as a compact velvet Anthurium with rounded peltate leaves, pale radiating veins and a smooth closed upper outline.

Solid Kids Sandals, Overpriced Like Most Kids Shoes 🌞
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Brown, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Brown
My son hasn’t worn these yet since it’s December in Indiana and sandals + snow obviously don’t mix. 😂 So this review is based on first impressions rather than long term wear. That said, these seem wider than a lot of typical kids’ sandals, which I REALLY appreciate since we tend to have wider feet in our family. #hobbitfeet The quality feels pretty decent overall. They’re described as lightweight, and while they’re not insanely lightweight, they do have enough weight to feel semi-sturdy and not flimsy or cheap. I like the style and color, and I think they’ll work well for my son once warmer weather hits. My main complaint is the price. At just under $24 at the time of this review, it feels a little high for kids’ sandals and for what these are. I really feel like $20 MAX would make more sense. Kids shoes are almost always priced like adult shoes, even though they clearly use less material, and that’s hard for me to understand and wrap my mind around. Overall, these seem solid for daily wear, I just wish the price was a bit more reasonable and affordable.

Great basic and timeless design
Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Brown
These sandals are a great find! They’re super easy to get on and off thanks to the Velcro straps, which is a huge win for little ones learning to be more independent. The fit is adjustable and secure, so they stay in place well during all kinds of play. The cork-style footbed is comfortable and gives good support, and the overall design feels sturdy enough to handle everyday wear. They’re lightweight but still durable, and have held up really well so far. They also have a classic, versatile look that goes with just about everything, perfect for summer outfits. Overall, a reliable, comfortable sandal that’s great for active kids. Would definitely buy again!
