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.

Reliable Spray for Hard-to-Reach Spots and Reapplication
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I picked up this spray specifically to cover the spots I can’t reach with lotion (my back), and it’s been super handy. The spray applies evenly, and while it has a familiar sunscreen scent, it fades quickly. I’ve worked it into my routine for touch-ups, especially on homeward-bound afternoon bike commutes. I keep the can in my bike bag and give everything a quick respray before heading home. It holds up well during activity and gives me solid protection for about two hours, after which I reapply. One thing to note: it does leave a bit of a shiny finish, which is fine for arms and legs, but I skip it on my face during the day because I don’t love the reflective look. That said, if it’s late or I’m not worried about how shiny my face is, it does the job. The SPF 100 is a plus for extended sun exposure, and I like knowing that I’ve got extra coverage when I need it.

Protected my kids through 7 hours of sun and water—no burns at all!
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is the real deal. We spent a full day, about 6 to 7 hours, at a water park under the blazing sun. My kids were running around nonstop, in and out of the water, and we reapplied every 30-45 minutes. Not a single sunburn. Their skin looked exactly the same by the end of the day, no redness, no irritation. Meanwhile, I skipped sunscreen and got absolutely fried. Lesson learned. Goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave a sticky residue, and held up amazingly even with water play. I’ll be buying this on repeat all summer.

Smells great. Tough to remove.
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The smell is great and very nostalgic, but it has a sticky/tacky feel on the skin. It's hard to get off even with a lot of scrubbing with soap and hot water. They weren't joking that it stays on through water and sweat.

A TERRIFIC FIND FOR US IN ECUADOR
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Here in Ecuador, this product isn't even available to us. I have the most precious 20 month old girl living with us and of course I wanted to get a quality product at less cost. This fits the bill. With an SPF 100 rating from a decades old and trusted manufacturer and a price that is less than one third of what I would have to pay for any sort of water resistant equivalent, this was a no brainer. If you buy this product, please read the instructions and follow them. It is a spray product that great care should be used to avoid spraying directly on the face--------- either your own or the child's. Spray it on your hand and apply it to any face that needs it. It's convenient for neck, shoulders, backs and legs due to its spray delivery. Our little 20 month old must be part fish because she loves the thermal pools we take her to and this product seems quite durable
