Anthurium papillilaminum × Anthurium forgetii
No wild natural range; cultivated from named Anthurium parent species.
Dark velvety foliage that may combine papi length and colour with the rounder, closed-sinus tendency of forgetii.
Upright velvet Anthurium seedling line; individual seedlings may vary strongly.
Hybrid/seedling-line name combines the parent species names.
Cultivated seedling cross. Trade examples often involve selected or variegated forgetii lines and papillilaminum pollen; treat each plant as seed-grown/variable unless a named clone is documented.
Hybrid cross: Anthurium papillilaminum ×Anthurium forgetii
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 dangerous cross for anyone who likes round leaves and black velvet leaves. Very inconsiderate of sellers.
