Anthurium forgetii × Anthurium magnificum
No wild natural range; cultivated from named Anthurium parent species.
Velvety leaves ranging from rounded/closed-sinus forms to more notched heart-shaped forms, with pale venation and often strong petiole/stem influence from magnificum.
Upright velvet Anthurium seedling line with variable foliage form depending on the individual plant.
Hybrid/seedling-line name combines the parent species names.
Cultivated hybrid/seedling line between Anthurium forgetii and Anthurium magnificum. Ecuagenera describes variable offspring with some round forgetii-like leaves and some notched magnificum-like leaves.
Hybrid cross: Anthurium forgetii ×Anthurium magnificum
Grow warm with bright filtered light, high humidity, and a chunky airy mix kept evenly lightly moist. Because these are seedling lines, adjust care to the individual plant and root system rather than assuming every seedling behaves identically.
Use a chunky, airy aroid mix with bark, perlite/pumice, coco chips or coarse fibre, and a moisture-retentive component. Repot gently when roots fill the pot; avoid oversized pots.
Monthly at quarter to half strength during active growth. Flush occasionally if using mineral fertiliser.
- Root rot in dense media or stagnant moisture; leaf edge burn from low humidity, salts, or inconsistent watering; thrips, spider mites, scale, or mealybug; cool conditions slowing or damaging growth.
- A perfect example of why Anthurium crosses should not be treated as identical clones.
