Anthurium andraeanum 'Roxane' problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium andraeanum 'Roxane' (Anthurium andraeanum 'Roxane') 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 spathe or leaf edges
Low humidity or hard-water salts. Increase humidity and water with filtered or rainwater; flush the pot to remove built-up salts.
Reduced flowering
Insufficient light or too much nitrogen feed. Move to brighter indirect light and use a higher-phosphorus bloom fertiliser during active growth.
Yellow lower leaves
Usually overwatering or a compacted mix. Let the top of the mix dry out between waterings and repot into a chunkier aroid blend.
Pale or washed-out colour
Aging blooms fade naturally, but a persistently dull display signals too little light raise the brightness of its position.
