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.

Great product!
Color: White, Color: White
I would definitely recommend this product as it works as intended. The net doesn't feel cheap and it seems durable, in my setup it was just what I needed so I am happy with this purchase.

Simple and sturdy!
Color: Black, Color: Black
I really like this product. My desk is just a regular table, so I wanted something to hide by bulky laptop and monitor adapters, and this does the job perfectly. It gets everything off the floor and out of view. Plus, it comes with some bonus Velcro cable ties and adhesive cable clips to help further wrangle cable chaos. I was hesitant at first because of the price, but it’s clear that it is a sturdy well-made product. The mesh is finer than other slings I’ve seen, so cords and other things won’t get tangled in it or fall through. I didn’t end up screwing the anchors into the table like you’re supposed to; I just used some large adhesive cable clips instead, which seems to work for now. I’ll probably end up purchasing another one for my partner’s desk.

Cord coverage solution
Color: White
I got this to cover the cabes under my desk. The white color blends well with the desk and the room colors. You can cover a lot of cables with it as long as they are not too heavy or bulky. Make sure to clean the area where you place the hooks or they detach after a while.
