Anthurium andraeanum 'Bianco' problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium andraeanum 'Bianco' (Anthurium andraeanum 'Bianco') 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.
Brown leaf tips
Usually low humidity or mineral/salt buildup from tap water. Raise humidity and water with low-mineral water, flushing the mix occasionally.
Few or no flowers
Most often insufficient bright indirect light or over-feeding with high nitrogen. Move brighter and switch to a balanced or phosphorus-leaning feed.
Yellowing lower leaves
Typically overwatering and soggy roots. Let the top few cm dry between waterings and confirm the pot drains freely.
Greenish or faded spathes
Aging blooms naturally green, but premature dulling often signals too little light or a spent inflorescence; trim old flowers at the base.
