Anthurium forgetti

Anthurium forgetii (often misspelled forgetti) is a Colombian species grown for its rounded, silver-veined velvety leaves, which lack the usual notch at the base. Wild data are very thin. Treat it like other velvet-leaved Colombian Anthurium: warm, humid, shaded and in an airy, never-soggy mix.

Where it grows wild

Thought to be epiphytic in humid Colombian forest. No specific habitat data are published, so this is generalised from related velvet-leaved Anthurium of wet lowland and premontane forest.
