Anthurium forgetii × besseae is a rare hybrid that blends the distinctive traits of its parent species. From forgetii, it inherits the rounded, velvety foliage with a lack of sinus at the leaf base, while besseae contributes strong venation and more elongated proportions. The result is a striking ornamental hybrid with bold venation patterns and a refined, collector-grade appearance. Its foliage often shows a shimmering quality under bright light, making it highly desirable among advanced Anthurium enthusiasts.
Care Guide
- Light: Bright, indirect light to highlight venation and maintain healthy foliage. Avoid direct sun which can scorch leaves.
- Water: Keep evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top 1 inch of substrate to dry before watering again.
- Humidity: Requires high humidity (70–90%) to thrive. Benefits from humidifiers, greenhouse setups, or terrariums.
- Temperature: Optimal range is 65–85°F. Protect from drafts and cold below 60°F.
- Soil: Loose, well-draining epiphytic mix with orchid bark, perlite/pumice, and sphagnum moss to mimic natural rainforest conditions.
- Fertilizer: Feed monthly during active growth with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in winter.
