Anthurium forgetii × luxurians
★ Birthday Anthurium · Featured Specimen
One of this season's highlighted specimens. Hand-selected, photographed as the exact plant you receive.
Anthurium forgetii × luxurians. A cross grown for form and texture — forgetii's rounded, lobeless leaf over luxurians' heavily bullate, light-catching surface.
The cross
Anthurium forgetii (Colombia) is the velvet species with no basal lobes — a rounded, peltate leaf, dark and velvet, with a fine pale margin and silver-white veins. Anthurium luxurians brings the opposite quality: a heavily bullate, quilted, glossy-dark surface with a geometric, almost bubbled texture.
Together they make a rounded, textured leaf — forgetii's clean form and pale-rimmed veining over luxurians' quilted surface. This is a cross grown for shape and texture rather than colour. Seed-grown, each one its own.
This specimen
- Stage: establishing juvenile
- Leaves: 4, one freshly emerged
- Pot: 7cm
- Included: Inner pot
- Notes: Acclimated and ready to ship
One specimen. Photographed as received. No restock.
Care, briefly
- Light: Bright indirect — never direct, which marks the velvet and the bullate surface.
- Water: Lightly and evenly moist — never wet — letting the surface just dry between waterings. With the bullate texture, keep airflow so water doesn't sit in the crevices.
- Humidity: 65%+. Leaf edges brown fast in dry air.
- Mix: Airy, chunky epiphytic mix — bark, perlite and charcoal — fast-draining.
- Warmth: 20–27°C. No cold draughts, nothing below 15°C.
- Pace: Steady — the bullate texture deepens as leaves mature. New leaves emerge and harden over a couple of weeks.
Thank you for collecting with us.
One window,three days.
This piece has lived on our shelves long enough to know its rhythm — rooted, photographed, and firm-checked before it joined the Birthday Collection. Year 1 isn't a sale, it's an anniversary — and the plants here were held back from the regular shelves for exactly this window.
One plant. One owner. When she's gone, she's gone.
Rare. Selected. Limited. The way it should be — and the way it always is here.
