Anthurium besseae aff. × forgetii

Anthurium besseae aff. × forgetii is a compact velvet Anthurium hybrid with rounded, deep green leaves and a soft pale vein pattern. The foliage sits close to the pot, with new leaves gradually opening into a fuller heart-like outline as they harden.

The cross brings together a besseae-affinity parent with Anthurium forgetii, a species known in cultivation for its rounded, near-closed leaf base. Indoors, it forms soft velvet blades around a neat central crown, with thick Anthurium roots that need moisture and air at the same time.

Rounded velvet traits

  • Rounded velvet leaves: The blades are dark green with a soft, matte surface.
  • Near-closed sinus shape: The forgetii influence can show in the rounded upper leaf outline, with little to no deep open notch at the base.
  • Pale vein contrast: Fine lighter veins define the rounded blade and central vein pattern.
  • Compact pot habit: The plant stays relatively close to its base, with leaves arranged around a tidy central crown.
  • Thick Anthurium roots: The root system prefers an airy mix that holds light moisture while still draining freely.
  • Soft new foliage: Expanding leaves are tender and benefit from stable humidity while they harden.

Compact growth and root behaviour

This hybrid grows as a compact, clumping Anthurium. New leaves rise from the central base, open softly and become firmer as the surface matures. A pot with good drainage and enough width around the crown gives the roots air and keeps the plant stable as the leaves broaden.

Anthurium besseae was described from Bolivia, while Anthurium forgetii was described from Colombia. Indoors, the soft leaves and thick roots respond best to warm conditions, filtered light, stable humidity and an open root zone.

Care for Anthurium besseae aff. × forgetii

  • Light: Give bright filtered light. Direct midday sun can mark the velvet surface and dry the leaf edges.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps the soft new leaves open cleanly, especially while the blade is still pale and flexible.
  • Water: Keep the mix lightly and evenly moist, then let the upper layer begin to dry before watering again.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky Anthurium mix with bark, airy mineral material and moisture-retentive fibre so the roots are not sealed into dense wet soil.
  • Temperature: Keep it warm and stable, ideally above 18 °C, and protect the pot from cold windowsills or cold wet substrate.
  • Placement: Leave space around the crown so new leaves do not press against shelves, glass or neighbouring plants while they expand.
  • Feeding: Use a diluted fertiliser during active growth. Flush the pot occasionally if mineral salts build up in the substrate.

Issues to watch on Anthurium besseae aff. × forgetii

  • Crispy leaf edges: Dry air, missed watering or a compacted mix can brown the margins, especially on younger velvet leaves.
  • Stuck new leaves: Low humidity can make the soft blade catch as it emerges, leaving creases or uneven expansion.
  • Yellowing lower leaves: Check whether the root zone is staying wet for too long, particularly in a heavy potting mix.
  • Root rot: Soft roots, sour substrate smell or a wobbling crown usually point to dense wet conditions around the base.
  • Pests: Thrips and spider mites can mark velvet foliage early. Inspect the undersides of leaves and the newest growth regularly.

Safety for Anthurium besseae aff. × forgetii

Anthurium belongs to the Araceae family and contains calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets and children that chew plants, and wash your hands after handling damaged leaves, roots or sap.

Name origin and parent species

The genus name Anthurium comes from Greek roots linked to “flower” and “tail”, referring to the spadix typical of the family. Anthurium forgetii N.E.Br. was published in Gardeners’ Chronicle in 1906 and was named after the collector Monsieur Forget. Anthurium besseae Croat was published in Novon in 2005; “aff.” marks a plant allied to Anthurium besseae.

Our go-to for RV tank maintenance – reliable
Scent: Pine, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 1), Scent: Pine, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 1)
This has become our go-to brand for maintaining the tanks in our 5th wheel camper. We’ve used several products over time, but we keep coming back to this one because it’s dependable and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. The drop-ins are super easy to use—just toss one in and you’re set. We’ve had no issues with unpleasant odors while using these, even during longer trips, which makes a big difference when you’re living in close quarters. We trust this brand and their products, and it’s one of those items we make sure to always have stocked before heading out.

Not the best of scents for an RV Toilet Tank
Scent: Lavender, Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I don't know why I thought the scent of lavender would be great for my black water holding tank, but it's not. I'm sorry to say that I will have to return it. There's 30 Camco toilet 🚽 treatment packets in this container. All you have to do is just drop one of these packets into the toilet and flush it down into the holding tank. I am not saying that this product is not good; I'm saying that I will have to exchange it for a different scent. I won't know until I try a different scent, because I might be allergic to Camco's RV Toilet Treatment Drop-ins. The lavender scent put out such a bad smell, I couldn't breathe all night last night. I had to keep filling up my tank, waiting for awhile, and then dumping it all out. I had to keep doing that till the bad smell went away. So I'm gonna give Camco another chance, and try a different scent, and just go from there. I should have known better than to use a toilet treatment that had a perfume scent. I'm allergic to fragrant's, I have to use fragrance free laundry soap.

Solid, Reliable, and Makes the Gross Job Way Easier
Style: 20' Rhino Sewer Hose
Solid, Reliable, and Makes the Gross Job Way Easier This is hands-down the best sewer hose kit I’ve used. It’s sturdy, easy to connect, and doesn’t feel flimsy like some of the cheaper ones. The clear elbow is a lifesaver because you can actually SEE when everything is done (which every RVer knows matters). The hose holds its shape, stretches exactly as needed, and packs up neatly. If you’re full-time or travel often, this is the one you want.

Worth the money. Get it.
Style: 20' Rhino Sewer Hose
I am a full time RV'er and these are the best hoses I have worked with. At this point I just do not buy anything else unless I have no choice. Yes, everything fails over time but these last the longest. If you want solid equipment you just don't have to worry about, get these hoses.
