Anthurium Forgetii – Unique Tear-Drop Foliage for the Experienced Collector

The Anthurium Forgetii stands out among foliage plants for its distinctive leaves that lack upper lobes and feature an open sinus, creating an unmistakable tear-drop shape.

What to Expect

The plant pictured is the exact specimen you will receive. This Anthurium Forgetii was sourced from a local grower and grown from seed. While we are unsure if it is a pure species or a hybrid, its beauty is undeniable and sure to be a standout in any collection.

Care Tips for Anthurium Forgetii

• Humidity and Temperature: This plant thrives in high humidity and warmth. In Australia's southern states, we recommend using a humidifier, greenhouse, or similar setup to create the ideal conditions.
• Light Requirements: Prefers moderate, indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent leaf burn.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.

Important Considerations

Velvet-leaved Anthuriums like the Forgetii require specific conditions to flourish, making them better suited for experienced growers. While some collectors may attempt to grow them in less-than-ideal conditions, we recommend doing so only if you are confident in your ability to maintain proper care.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot

We only ship plants on Mondays. Please order before 2pm on Sunday to ensure your plant will be sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time MIGHT not be shipped untill the following week.

We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry sorry WA, TAS and NT residents). Shipping of plants is capped at $18.00 per order. This includes the packing materials and labour times. We use recycled packing where possible to reduce our waste and keep cost down, but we ensure that all packing material is sturdy enough to resist damage during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We will not request signature on delivery, as parcels sent back to the post office may not get picked up for days, therefore increasing the amount of stress placed on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from the Northern Wellbeing Centre; 113C miller st, Epping VIC. If you select this option at check-out, we will email you to organise a pick-up time.
