The Forgetti is an Anthurium species grown native to Columbia. The Forgetti is sought after for its round, tear-shaped leaf and silver veining. It is known to be one of the easier Anthuriums, so it is a great plant to grab if you are starting to expand your collection.
Care
Medium
Like most Anthuriums, the Forgetii appreciates a chunky potting medium allowing air to reach the roots.
Water
The Forgetti likes to drink but doesn’t like to get wild. So you should keep your soil consistently moist but let it dry out ever so slightly.
When it is time for a drink, give it a good thorough watering. You want to see water coming out the bottom of the pot. My favorite way to water my plants is at the sink.
If soaking your plant sounds scary, remember it is not about how much you water; it is about how often you water. Remember that a moisture meter will not read accurately in a chunky potting medium. Instead, feel the medium and lift the pot to help gauge if the plant needs to be watered.
Light
Forgetti’s dark foliage is easy to bleach with too much sun. But, as everyone would say “, it needs bright indirect light,” which is accurate but confusing.
It will do best pulled back from a West window or sitting in an East window. If you use a grow light, you may have to play around with the light distance before finding its perfect home.
