Leaf size: approximately 12 inches.

Anthurium forgetii requires watering every 7–10 days. Allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter when growth slows.

Anthurium Forgetii thrives in bright indirect light light conditions. The optimal light range is 250–1000 lux. Avoid placing Anthurium Forgetii in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods, as this can scorch the foliage.

Well-draining, peat-based potting mix with perlite for aeration. Good drainage is essential for Anthurium Forgetii to prevent waterlogging, which leads to root rot and fungal issues.

Repot every 2-3 years in spring. Choose a pot one size larger than the current container, and ensure it has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.
