Dhs. 250.00

The Anthurium Forgetii x Nigrolaminum is a hybrid prized for its striking, velvety, dark foliage with no sinus (the gap at the top of the leaf common in other Anthuriums). It blends the compact, round-leaf beauty of Forgetii with the dramatic dark glossiness of Nigrolaminum. Here's how to care for it:

🌿 Care Guide for Anthurium Forgetii x Nigrolaminum

✅ Light

  • Bright, indirect light is best.

  • Avoid direct sun, which can burn the velvety leaves.

  • Can tolerate lower light but will grow slower.

✅ Watering

  • Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy.

  • Allow the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil to dry out before watering again.

  • Overwatering leads to root rot; underwatering causes leaf crisping.

✅ Humidity

  • Loves high humidity: 60–80% ideal.

  • Benefits from a humidifier or regular misting.

  • Browning edges usually mean air is too dry.

✅ Temperature

  • Prefers 18–26°C (65–80°F).

✅ Soil

  • Use a very airy, chunky mix:

    • Orchid bark

    • Perlite

    • Sphagnum moss

    • Charcoal

    • A bit of coco coir or potting soil for moisture retention

  • This mimics its epiphytic nature in the wild.

✅ Fertilizer

  • Use a balanced, gentle fertilizer (20-20-20) monthly during the growing season (spring-summer).

  • You can also use a fertilizer for aroids or orchids.

  • Reduce feeding in colder months. 

✅ Repotting

  • Every 1–2 years or when roots start growing out of the pot.

  • Use a pot with excellent drainage.
