Anthurium Angamarcanum problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium Angamarcanum (Anthurium angamarcanum) 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, crisping leaf tips
Low humidity or mineral build-up from tap water. Raise humidity above 60% and use filtered or rainwater; flush the medium periodically.
Root rot and yellowing
Mix kept too wet or too dense. Switch to a chunky, airy aroid mix and let the top layer dry slightly between waterings.
Stunted or deformed new leaves
Usually insufficient humidity or cold stress. Keep warm above 18C and increase ambient moisture, ideally in an enclosure.
Scorched or bleached blades
Direct sun on the long leaves. Move to bright but filtered light only.
