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.

Perfect For My Routine
Color: Black
I am retired military, so exercise has always been a part of my daily routine. Since the pandemic I have had to adjust, which is hard because the gym has the equipment I have become accustomed to. I didn’t realize how different it was working out there as when I started to work out at home on my hard wood floors (no carpet anywhere). I thought it would be easy but the military exercise mat is entirely too thin and was making my tailbone hurt tremendously, so I had to give up my sit-ups and some other ab exercises. This kind of threw a wrench into my routine and I could start feeling my motivation go away. I decided to take a look on Amazon for a thicker mat. I should have done this long ago because I found this one I’m writing about. It’s the shape of any typical exercise Matt except it’s 1” thick. It appears to be made of a type of foam (not bothering to look at the description right now). When I pulled it out I thought I was going to sink in making sit-ups even harder but it’s firm but not hard. I like it better than what is at the gym. Durability will be hard to determine until I’ve had it a while but I’m definitely excited to start back up on my exercises. I recommend this mat if you have hard wood floors, bad back, bad knees, etc. I thought I read some negative reviews about mats this thick because of yoga and balance but I beg to differ. If balancing is part of your exercise routine, then a mat which makes balance harder is exactly what you want. Exercise is supposed to be challenging and you need to work harder to see a difference. If that isn’t your goal or if balance is a medical issue, this may not be the right mat for you. Something you may not think about is I have chronic foot pain and this mat makes it less painful for me to stand or jump. For me, this mat is perfect.

This mat is thick and cushy - even with meniscus tears in both knees I can comfortably exercise. And I love the color.

Nice, thick & comfy but came w/ punctures in foam; seller provided discount
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
I love the mat. It's thick and very comfortable on my knees. However, when I opened it for the first time at my yoga class, there were several cuts or punctures in the foam. I attempted to return it and the seller offered me a 10% refund due to the damage. I am concerned that the mat may deteriorate due to the damage it came with, but I need it and have no idea if the cuts will matter over time. So I accepted the $3 refund and am keeping the mat.

Great workout mat
Color: Green
It’s very thick and soft so it makes exercising a lot easier. It rolls easily ready to store. And it seems very durable. It is also flexible for certain exercises for balance.
