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.

Easily destructible
NOT for aggressive dog. My Boston Terrier is a chewer and had this destroyed in a few hours and it is a choking hazard. I threw it away the same day!!! Do not purchase if your pet is a chewer!!!

Works fantastic.
Works great. I have 2 little dog. Both part min pin. But they can chew. They have tartar and I am trying everything to help them, with powder in the food, and a liquid for the water. That's been helping but they will not let us brush their teeth. SO I know they love bones, but I didn't want them to keep eating them, like the ones for fresh breath and cleaning the teeth. They just eat them and get fat. WELL, these bone here that I bought, are fantastic!!. I only stick a few treats inside the seams and middle and they both chew away getting only a little treat at a time bit they have to work for it. So now they chew longer and get very little treats. Yes, my dogs can chew and they have already done some damage on this bones, but for the price and what it does, Its a win win. I will try to get a video or pics later.

Good Product But I Need Something Indestructible
These were advertised for aggressive chews, but my 2 mini schnauzers puppies quickly bit off the little prongs within an hour. I didn't put food inside them; I just wanted them for chew toys. Well, they were not hard enough for them. The size was perfect for puppies, but they were not durable enough for my 'heavy' chewers. I hate I can't find chew toys they can't destroy! Now they bring in sticks and mess the house up.
