Variant

Anthurium villenaorum x forgetii, is a captivating hybrid that elegantly combines the characteristics of its parent species, Anthurium villenaorum and Anthurium forgetii. This hybrid showcases the best of both worlds, featuring broad, round leaves typical of Anthurium forgetii with the peltate leaf insertion where the leaf's stem attaches in the centre, rather than at the edge. The leaves inherit the impressive veining and large size from Anthurium villenaorum, and are known for their velvety texture, making this hybrid particularly striking. This plant's foliage tends to be deep green, highlighted by the distinct, lighter coloured veins, creating a dramatic visual impact. Known for its relative ease of care among velvet-leaved Anthuriums, this hybrid is ideal for enthusiasts looking to add a touch of luxury to their indoor garden.

Care Guide

How to take care of Anthurium Villenaorum x Forgetii

Sun: Indirect

Anthurium Villenaorum x Forgetii should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Bright

Anthurium Villenaorum x Forgetii will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Anthurium Villenaorum x Forgetii needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: High

Anthurium Villenaorum x Forgetii likes a high humidity environment, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

Pet Caution

Anthurium Villenaorum x Forgetii is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing the Anthurium Villenaorum x Forgetii, a captivating hybrid that elegantly combines the distinct qualities of two remarkable Anthurium species. This hybrid is not only a testament to the wonders of botanical hybridization but also symbolizes the blending of strength and beauty, offering a lush, velvety addition to any indoor plant collection.

The Anthurium Villenaorum x Forgetii exhibits broad, round leaves that are a hallmark of the Anthurium forgetii, known for its unique peltate leaf insertion where the leaf's stem attaches to the underside of the leaf rather than the edge. This structural elegance is complemented by the deep, intricate veining typical of the Anthurium villenaorum, which is celebrated for its large, textured leaves. The combination results in a plant that boasts both visual depth and a strikingly luxurious texture, with leaves that are both broad and densely veined, enhancing its ornamental appeal.

Caring for this hybrid involves mimicking its native tropical environment. It thrives in bright, indirect light which highlights the richness of its velvety leaves and deepens the contrast of its veins. Direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent scorching the delicate foliage.

High humidity is crucial for maintaining the lush, velvety quality of the leaves, making regular misting, the use of a humidifier, or placement in a naturally humid area like a bathroom ideal for this plant. Such conditions not only promote vigorous health but also mirror the moist, warm environments of its parent species' native habitats.

Watering should be consistent but cautious; allow the topsoil to become slightly dry between waterings and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. This approach teaches the importance of balance and attention to detail in nurturing, providing just enough water to sustain life while protecting the plant from excess moisture.

As the Anthurium Villenaorum x Forgetii matures, it becomes an even more magnificent presence, with each new leaf expanding the beauty and complexity of its display. This hybrid does more than fill a space; it transforms it, bringing with it a touch of the tropical and a reminder of the incredible diversity of nature.

Welcome the Anthurium Villenaorum x Forgetii into your home, and let it be a living symbol of nature's endless creativity, the beauty of hybrid vigour, and the elegance of combining different elements to create something truly extraordinary. It’s not just a plant; it's a testament to the artful melding of genetics and the breathtaking diversity of the plant kingdom.
