Troubleshooting
Anthurium andraeanum 'Kozohara' problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium andraeanum 'Kozohara' (Anthurium andraeanum 'Kozohara') 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 and spathe tips
Low humidity, salt build-up from over-fertilising, or hard tap water. Raise humidity, flush the pot, and switch to filtered or rainwater.
No or few flowers
Usually too little light or too much nitrogen. Move to brighter indirect light and switch to a higher-phosphorus bloom feed in the growing season.
Yellowing lower leaves
Often overwatering or compacted, water-retentive mix. Let the top of the mix dry between waterings and repot into a chunkier aroid blend.
Faded or greenish spathes
Aging blooms naturally green as they age, but persistent dull colour points to insufficient light; brighten the position.
