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.

Fantabulous!
This is a fantastic and true re-publication of a classic favorite. The illustrations are great (though I wish they were in color), and the type-font and whole format were designed to make this a timeless heirloom, to be passed down the generations. I also learned the correct names of two of the eight reindeer were "Dunder" (not "Donner") and "Blixem" (not "Blitzen"). It shows that Candlewick Press took pains to make sure that what they were republishing was true and accurate to Clement Clark Moore's original work. Note that the name of the illustrator (Matt Tavares) is prominently acknowledged on the cover, though Moore's name is only mentioned in "A Note from the Illustrator", probably owing to the fact that Moore first published his poem anonymously. Still, I'm surprised that "they" did not include Moore's name on the cover. If you are looking to acquire a good, faithful, accurate and wonderfully illustrated version of this classic for your shelves, to be pulled at Christmas-time for reading and re-reading, this would be as good a copy (or perhaps better) than any.

Account of a Review from a St. Nicholas
I have been representing the spirit of St. Nicholas for children for the past 26 years. I have been everything from a Mall Santa to a part in a Christmas Program at our local church. About ten years ago, I started reading this story to the children of the local cops & firefighters fairly close to Christmas Eve each year from an old tattered children's book. I usually hosted this in my own living room until it got too large to do so. This year we opened that reading up to the community and filled the basement of our local library with children and their parents. I needed something to replace the old tattered children's book with and this fit the bill. The illustrations are beautiful and the words large enough to read in front of a group of children. I wish the pages were a little more robust as they are difficult to turn with white gloves on but that is minor. I cannot recommend this edition of the timeless story enough.

“Twas the Night before Christmas” illustrated by Matt Tavares
Format: Hardcover
Clement C. Moore - “Twas the Night before Christmas” is a perennial holiday favorite of mine. Matt Tavares’ monochrome illustrations are incredible! Mr. Tavares’ version remains true to the text within the original 1823 poem, ”A Visit from St. Nicholas”. As noted - two original reindeer names – Dunder and Blixem. I highly recommend Irish illustrator PJ Lynch 2021 version and American illustrator Matt Tavares 2022 version of Moore’s “Twas the Night before Christmas”.

This is the complete story, a visit from Saint Nicholas! Also known as twas the night before Christmas! This is the original how it was written and the classic that has lived and will continue to live on forever in everyone's heart! This is not the edited version by the thought police.

That has been enjoyed by generations since it was first written before it's destruction by editing. Buy this book! This is the original as it was intended that generations have enjoyed young and old alike!
