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

The genus name Anthurium comes from Greek roots linked to “flower” and “tail”, referring to the spadix typical of the family. Anthurium forgetii N.E.Br. was published in Gardeners’ Chronicle in 1906 and was named after the collector Monsieur Forget. Anthurium besseae Croat was published in Novon in 2005; “aff.” marks a plant allied to Anthurium besseae.

Wow.
Format: Kindle
Okay I’m usually not one for stand-alone’s I’m an avid series reader but my goodness am I so happy I read this! This story was brilliant & so absolutely mesmerizing. I loved reading about each character and their struggles as well as what helped them to move forward. The ending definitely brought tears to my eyes so hard. I truly wasn’t expecting some of what happened in this story. There is about to be a spoiler I am going to reveal so please stop reading if you don’t want the spoiler !!!! ⚠️ ⛔️ ‼️ I loved that the author didn’t do what most authors do with irredeemable male characters. I truly was hoping that Nate Jr. would be apart of the pack after the way he treated Astrea bc he truly didn’t deserve it. Though I must say you did a wonderful job or redeeming him as a person. I cried my eyes out when he walked into the story. I was truly terrified he was going to be a bad guy to the end. However you truly did him such a justice by having him realize his faults & having him redeem himself in the most wonderful way. I’m so sad that he didn’t get to hear how much his brother loved him & forgave him before dying. But again you wrote that ending so beautifully & I just can’t express how much I loved this story & how you took a different route than most authors I have read have. You are a remarkable author Cinder Blaze & I thank you generously for creating such a masterpiece.

Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
I was pleasantly surprised by this omega verse book. This 1 definitely had a few new twists And I really enjoyed reading it. The main female character was a badass and awesome. She had 1 best friend I wish we could have seen a little bit more of their friendship in this book. Her relationship with the male characters was good not to contrived or super instantaneous. And we had some fun plot twists that I didn't expect. I wish we had more of a follow up on the situation with her family her background and her mother who was a wench. I would definitely recommend this book.

Wow. Just wow. An amazing read
Format: Kindle
This book was eloquently written, or should I say the authors writing style is very eloquent? I loved the characters, and the story was quite compelling. I absolutely loved the FMC, she's a BA who doesn't take any crap & gives as good as she gets. A certain person certainly got his just desserts & then some, the earlier scenes of which were quite satisfying, had me punching the air & everything haha. All in all 20/10, great read

My opinion
Format: Kindle
Let me preface this by saying I really liked the story and the characters however, this book is in desperate need of some sort of editing. It's not misspelled words or formatting, but continuous run on sentences. Redundancies within the sentences. There were a couple of paragraphs that I had to go back and reread 3 or 4 times. Overall, I'd say it was worth the read.

Beautiful
Format: Kindle
I love omegaverses I had looked at this one multiple times thinking it's just another book about cocky rock star guys that let fame get to their heads and there are parts like that so I wasn't 100% off. I started reading the second book and met the fmc Astraea from the first one,after she had a run in with the aphla from the gym.😁 it gave me the push to stop and read book one first and im so glad I did this book was amazing their was so many characters I fell in love with hoping they will find their happily ever after. the guys were great, the plot was 🎯, and the ending had me 😭😭😭. I was wondering how nate could ever redeem himself, and he did. the last scene with him was sad, but I also felt it was beautiful. thank you to the author for making a beautiful omegaverse book that gave me all the feels. now I'm jumping straight into book two.
