Anthurium Forgetii x RL

Anthurium forgetii is known for one of the most intensely textured leaves in the genus — a compact, rounded, heavily bullate surface in deep blue-green with pale, contrasting veins. This cross keeps that signature texture while adding warm salmon-pink sectoral tones.

This is a one-of-a-kind specimen — the exact plant shown in its photo, not a representative sample. Please message us to confirm it's still available before purchasing.

Why Collectors Seek It Out

Forgetii's quilted, almost pebbled leaf surface is distinctive even among velvet-leaf Anthurium; a cross carrying pink or salmon sectoring on top of that texture is unusual and genuinely leaf-dependent, so expect real variation plant to plant.

Botanical Background

Anthurium forgetii is native to Colombia, growing low and compact in the humid forest understorey — smaller-growing than many collector Anthurium species. As with other Anthurium, the sap contains calcium oxalate crystals, so keep it away from pets and children.

Growing Conditions

Bright, indirect light, warmth between 18–27°C (65–80°F), and no cold drafts suit it well. A chunky, well-draining aroid mix, humidity above 60%, and a slight dry-down between waterings keep the roots healthy; a covered setup or grow cabinet noticeably improves leaf texture and color.
