Anthurium Forgetii × RVDP Mutated | Variegated Mother Plant, 5 Leaves
Every figure here describes the specimen in the photographs as it is today, not the mother plant.
★ Mother Plant · Not a Clone
This plant is the mother. Five large mutated leaves, established and ready to be propagated from.
Anthurium Forgetii × RVDP, mutated. A large, established plant with five big leaves, every one of them mutated and variegated. This is not a cutting taken from someone else's mother. This is the mother.
The cross
Forgetii is the closed one: a near round blade with no basal lobes at all, bright silver venation and a compact, tidy habit. It is the parent people use when they want shape.
RVDP, Red Vein Dark Phoenix, comes from the other direction. Dark tissue with warm red venation running through it, built for depth rather than outline. Together you get the forgetii silhouette carrying Dark Phoenix colour.
The mutation
What makes this plant different is that the mutation is expressed across all five leaves, not on a single lucky one. Mutated growth plus variegation on the same plant is uncommon, and seeing it hold leaf after leaf is the only real evidence that it is stable rather than a one off.
Five consecutive leaves showing it is exactly the kind of track record you cannot get from a one or two leaf plant, at any price.
What you are actually buying
Most of what we release are clones taken from our mothers. This listing is the other thing entirely: a finished mother plant with no mother above her.
She is big enough to cut from. Whoever takes her is not buying a plant to grow out for three years before it does anything interesting. They are buying the top of a line and everything that can be taken from it afterwards.
This specimen
- Type: Mother plant, not a clone and not seed grown
- Leaves: 5, all large
- Mutation: Expressed across every leaf
- Variegation: Present across current growth
- Size: Large, established plant
- Pot: 10cm
- Included: Inner pot
- Notes: A plant at this level is for growers who already keep velvet Anthuriums well. Not a first Anthurium.
One specimen. Photographed as received. Sold once and not repeated.
Care, briefly
- Light: Bright indirect, never direct, which scorches the velvet and the variegated sections first. Good light keeps the colour clean.
- Water: Lightly and evenly moist, never wet, letting the surface just dry between waterings. Keep water off the velvet.
- Warmth: 20 to 25°C and stable. With velvet Anthuriums, steady warmth matters more than chasing humidity. No cold draughts, nothing below 15°C.
- Humidity: 65%+ suits a variegated velvet, but consistent warmth and airflow matter more.
- Mix: Airy, chunky epiphytic mix of bark, perlite and charcoal, fast draining.
- Pace: An established plant in a 10cm pot. Let it settle after shipping before you repot or take anything from it.
