Troubleshooting
Anthurium amnicola problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium amnicola (Anthurium amnicola) 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.
Browning leaf tips
Usually low humidity or salt/mineral buildup from tap water; raise humidity and water with rain or filtered water, flushing the pot periodically.
Few or no flowers
Too little light or under-feeding. Move to brighter indirect light and feed a phosphorus-inclusive balanced fertiliser through the growing season.
Root rot
From a dense mix or overwatering. Use a chunky epiphytic blend, ensure free drainage, and let the surface dry slightly between waterings.
Yellowing lower leaves
Often overwatering or natural aging; check that the mix is not staying sodden and that drainage is adequate.
