Anchomanes difformis problems — and how to fix them
Anchomanes difformis (Anchomanes difformis) is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Rhizome rot
Caused by watering the dormant rhizome or poor drainage. Keep it dry while resting and use a well-structured mix.
Single-leaf shock
Because only one leaf grows per cycle, damaging it sets the plant back severely. Site it where the leaf won't be knocked or sunburned.
Leaf-edge browning
Low humidity or dry heat scorches the large blade. Raise humidity and keep away from heat sources.
Spider mites
Dry air invites mites on the broad leaf; inspect undersides and treat promptly with insecticidal soap.
