Anthurium andraeanum 'Roxanne' (Anthurium andraeanum 'Roxanne') 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.
No flowers
Most often too little light or too much nitrogen. Increase bright indirect light and use a higher-phosphorus feed.
Browning leaf and spathe tips
Low humidity or fertiliser-salt build-up. Raise humidity, use low-mineral water, and flush the pot.
Yellowing leaves
Overwatering and poor drainage. Let the surface dry between waterings and ensure the mix drains freely.
Faded or sunburned spathes
