Anthurium besseae aff. × forgetii

Anthurium besseae aff. × forgetii is a compact velvet Anthurium hybrid with rounded, deep green leaves and a soft pale vein pattern. The foliage sits close to the pot, with new leaves gradually opening into a fuller heart-like outline as they harden.

The cross brings together a besseae-affinity parent with Anthurium forgetii, a species known in cultivation for its rounded, near-closed leaf base. Indoors, it forms soft velvet blades around a neat central crown, with thick Anthurium roots that need moisture and air at the same time.

Rounded velvet traits

  • Rounded velvet leaves: The blades are dark green with a soft, matte surface.
  • Near-closed sinus shape: The forgetii influence can show in the rounded upper leaf outline, with little to no deep open notch at the base.
  • Pale vein contrast: Fine lighter veins define the rounded blade and central vein pattern.
  • Compact pot habit: The plant stays relatively close to its base, with leaves arranged around a tidy central crown.
  • Thick Anthurium roots: The root system prefers an airy mix that holds light moisture while still draining freely.
  • Soft new foliage: Expanding leaves are tender and benefit from stable humidity while they harden.

Compact growth and root behaviour

This hybrid grows as a compact, clumping Anthurium. New leaves rise from the central base, open softly and become firmer as the surface matures. A pot with good drainage and enough width around the crown gives the roots air and keeps the plant stable as the leaves broaden.

Anthurium besseae was described from Bolivia, while Anthurium forgetii was described from Colombia. Indoors, the soft leaves and thick roots respond best to warm conditions, filtered light, stable humidity and an open root zone.

Care for Anthurium besseae aff. × forgetii

  • Light: Give bright filtered light. Direct midday sun can mark the velvet surface and dry the leaf edges.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps the soft new leaves open cleanly, especially while the blade is still pale and flexible.
  • Water: Keep the mix lightly and evenly moist, then let the upper layer begin to dry before watering again.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky Anthurium mix with bark, airy mineral material and moisture-retentive fibre so the roots are not sealed into dense wet soil.
  • Temperature: Keep it warm and stable, ideally above 18 °C, and protect the pot from cold windowsills or cold wet substrate.
  • Placement: Leave space around the crown so new leaves do not press against shelves, glass or neighbouring plants while they expand.
  • Feeding: Use a diluted fertiliser during active growth. Flush the pot occasionally if mineral salts build up in the substrate.

Issues to watch on Anthurium besseae aff. × forgetii

  • Crispy leaf edges: Dry air, missed watering or a compacted mix can brown the margins, especially on younger velvet leaves.
  • Stuck new leaves: Low humidity can make the soft blade catch as it emerges, leaving creases or uneven expansion.
  • Yellowing lower leaves: Check whether the root zone is staying wet for too long, particularly in a heavy potting mix.
  • Root rot: Soft roots, sour substrate smell or a wobbling crown usually point to dense wet conditions around the base.
  • Pests: Thrips and spider mites can mark velvet foliage early. Inspect the undersides of leaves and the newest growth regularly.

Safety for Anthurium besseae aff. × forgetii

Anthurium belongs to the Araceae family and contains calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets and children that chew plants, and wash your hands after handling damaged leaves, roots or sap.

Name origin and parent species

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol

I just knew there was something about Cooper! I’m wondering if he’s about to be included but damn I’m glad he’s at least not a rapist and creepy guy, he just got called on assignment and had to go! This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!
