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.
