Anthurium andraeanum 'Midori' problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium andraeanum 'Midori' (Anthurium andraeanum 'Midori') 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.
Spathes turning brown or dull
Low humidity, draughts, or hard-water salts. Raise humidity, keep away from heat sources, and water with filtered or rainwater.
Few flowers
Most often too little light or excess nitrogen feed. Brighten the spot and switch to a higher-phosphorus bloom fertiliser in the growing season.
Yellowing leaves
Typically overwatering or a dense, soggy mix. Let the surface dry between waterings and repot into a chunkier, faster-draining aroid blend.
Leaf tip and edge browning
Dry air or fertiliser salt build-up. Increase humidity and flush the pot thoroughly every few months to clear excess salts.
