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.

Great Quality!
Color: Ivory White, Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin Shape), Color: Ivory White, Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin Shape)
I have owned many sheepskins before and this one is by far the best deal. Cheaper than similar sizes, but not in a bad way! It’s a beautiful creamy white, super plush, and is very long. We keep it on the back of our couch and it gives a very cozy vibe. I haven’t had any issues with it shedding. Word of advice for cat owners: When we first got it, it did have a sheepskin smell but it isn’t a gross smell and it went away within a few days; however, my cat was very attracted to that smell and was “attacking” the sheepskin. We trained her not to do it just by spraying her with water—after a few times of that she stopped going anywhere near it. Now that the smell has dissipated, she isn’t attracted to it anymore but does like to sit on it every once and awhile (I can’t blame her, it’s sooooo soft). I saw someone else say their cat ruined their rug, so I wanted to give our story on how we prevented that and hopes it helps another cat owner. You just have to be alert for the first day, maybe even let it off-gas outside first, then keep a spray bottle nearby and the cat should stop messing with it!

Great little rug!
Color: Ivory White, Size: 2' x 3' (Sheepskin Shape), Color: Ivory White, Size: 2' x 3' (Sheepskin Shape)
This nice little sheepskin rug is the perfect finishing touch to my little reading nook. It’s soft and thick. Follow the enclosed instructions to fluff it up. I was going to order a second one but saw that the price jumped nearly $10 in a week. It’s nice but it’s not worth that amount. I’d buy it on sale though. Five stars.

Unfortunately I can’t recommend it.
Color: Ivory White, Size: Round 48''
I got my carpet time ago but I opened the package just 3 days ago. Unfortunately I can’t take it back anymore. I opened the bag after I had done my daughter’s bedroom with flooring and walls painted. Sadly when I opened this bag the smell was sooooo bad. The material was not soft and the color was more yellow than ivory. The quality is not good. It is thick and the value of the money was extremely expensive which makes more disappointing that I can’t take it back. Not easy to clean and the size was ok. But I can’t recommend it.
