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.
