Anthurium Forgetii Care Guide

(The round-leaf, no-sinus beauty!)

The Anthurium Forgetii is a stunning aroid known for its oval, pendant-like leaves with no sinus (no split at the top)and prominent silver veins. It's native to Colombia and thrives in humid, warm, forest-like conditions.


Basic Care Requirements

☀️ Light

  • Bright, indirect light is ideal.

  • Avoid direct sunlight, which burns the leaves.

  • Can survive in medium light but will grow slower.


💧 Watering

  • Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy.

  • Water when the top 2–3 cm (about an inch) of soil feels dry.

  • Prefers consistency; avoid letting it completely dry out or stay wet for too long.


💦 Humidity

  • Requires high humidity: 60–80% or more.

  • Browning tips = likely low humidity.

  • Use a humidifier, pebble trays, or group with other plants.


🌡️ Temperature

  • Thrives in 18–26°C (65–80°F).

  • Keep away from AC vents. 


🌱 Soil Mix

  • Needs a well-draining, chunky, airy mix.

  • Ideal mix example:

    • 40% orchid bark

    • 20% perlite

    • 20% sphagnum moss

    • 10% charcoal

    • 10% coco coir or light potting mix

This replicates its natural epiphytic conditions.


🌸 Fertilizer

  • Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) or an aroid-specific fertilizer.

  • Cut back in fall and winter.


🔁 Repotting

  • Every 1–2 years or when roots are circling the pot.

  • Always use a pot with drainage holes.
