Anthurium forgetii

Anthurium forgetii is a compact velvet Anthurium with rounded peltate leaves, where the petiole attaches beneath the leaf instead of at the edge. This creates a smooth, closed upper outline rather than the open notch seen on many heart-shaped Anthuriums.

The mature leaves are deep green with a soft velvet surface and pale veins spreading from the petiole attachment point. Growth stays compact around a short central stem, with new leaves adding to the rounded shape.

Rounded peltate leaves

  • Growth: Compact Anthurium with a short central stem.
  • Leaf form: Rounded peltate leaves with a closed or almost closed upper outline.
  • Surface: Deep green velvet leaves with a soft matte surface.
  • Veins: Pale veins radiating from the petiole attachment point beneath the leaf.
  • Petioles: Upright, round petioles without a front groove.
  • Pot growth: Slow to moderate, with firmer leaves once the roots are established.

Colombian origin and compact growth

Anthurium forgetii is native to Colombia, where it grows in wet tropical conditions. The petiole joins the leaf from underneath, closing the upper outline and giving the plant its rounded foliage shape.

Indoors, the roots need both air and steady moisture. A compact crown can still carry thick Anthurium roots, so this plant does best in a pot close to the root size and a mix that drains freely while holding light moisture.

Anthurium forgetii care

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light. Soft, indirect light supports firm petioles and steady new growth.
  • Watering: Water when the upper 20–30% of the mix has dried, then let the pot drain fully.
  • Substrate: Use a fine-to-medium chunky Anthurium mix with bark, coco chips or coarse coco fibre, pumice or perlite, and a small moisture-holding part.
  • Pot fit: Use a pot close to the root size and avoid oversized containers.
  • Humidity: Around 60–80% humidity helps new velvet leaves expand with fewer marks.
  • Temperature: A warm range around 20–28 °C keeps roots and new leaves active.
  • Feeding: Use a diluted balanced fertiliser during active growth.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot or the mix begins to break down. Keep the crown at the same level.
  • Leaf care: Dust mature leaves with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Velvet surfaces mark easily when rubbed hard.
  • Propagation: Propagate by division or stem sections with nodes once the plant has enough mature growth.

Common Anthurium forgetii problems

  • Soft yellowing leaves: Check for stale moisture, cool roots or compacted substrate.
  • Brown margins: Review watering rhythm, humidity, fertiliser strength and mineral buildup.
  • Small new leaves: Inspect the roots first, then light and feeding. Root stress often leads to smaller new leaves.
  • Distorted growth: Check young leaves and new leaf sheaths for thrips, mites or damage during expansion.
  • Velvet surface marks: Direct sun, water sitting on the leaf or handling pressure can leave visible marks.

Anthurium forgetii flowers

Once mature, the plant may produce the typical Anthurium flower structure: a spathe around a spadix. On this species, the spathe is usually narrow and green, with a yellow to ochre spadix.

Safe handling

Anthurium forgetii contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, skin and eyes. Keep it away from pets and children that may nibble or eat plant material, and handle cut tissue carefully.

Why it is called Anthurium forgetii

The genus name Anthurium refers to the tail-like spadix. The species name forgetii honours Monsieur Forget, the collector associated with the plant’s name.

Keep the roots warm, lightly moist and airy for compact growth and rounded velvet leaves.

Looks nice, easy to install
Color: Rustic Brown, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
This shelf is lightweight, looks nice, and was easy to install. It comes with a little level to help you install it properly. There are plenty of mounting holes to choose from, so it is easy to screw it directly into a stud, or to just use holes that are convenient for you. It comes with a plethora of mounting hardware. I mounted mine a bit high up and chose to mount it upside down so that I wouldn't see the three screws that hold the shelf to the mounting bracket.

Great Wall Shelves – Sturdy, Easy to Install, and a Fantastic Value!
Size: 4 pcs: 15.7*5.7, Color: White
I’m really happy with these wall shelves! They’re sturdy, well-built, and hold up perfectly under weight—no concerns about them sagging or bending. The installation was super simple, and everything was clearly labeled with no missing parts, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I love that they come in a set of four, making them perfect for displaying books, plants, or decorative items in multiple spots around the room. The design is sleek and minimal, so they fit in with pretty much any style of decor. Overall, these shelves are a great value, and I would definitely purchase them again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for reliable and easy-to-install shelving!
