Anthurium forgetii is known for its leaves without upper lobes and an open sinus, giving them a distinct tear-drop shape. This plant is a Forgetii hybrid, so its leaf shape exhibits traits similar to a true Forgetii. While the specific species used in the hybridisation remain a mystery, one can appreciate the subtle nuances in the leaf structure, such as the partially open sinus with overlapping lobes
These plants are genetic clones of the parent plant, ensuring that they maintain the same stunning characteristics that captivated us in the first place. They have been meticulously propagated via stem cuttings, allowing for strong root systems to develop swiftly, which should result in their leaves sizing up quickly. The parent plant is shown in the last photo labeled ‘R123’.

Velvet leaf anthuriums like this need very specific conditions to thrive. We don’t recommend this plant for brown thumbs.If you live in Australia’s southern states, we recommend a humidifier, greenhouse, or similar to house your velvet leaf anthuriums. These plants are endemic to the tropics, and require warmth and humidity to grow. Some collectors push the limits of these plants, growing them in below-optimal conditions, but we don’t suggest this unless you are an experienced grower.
