Anthurium bakeri problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium bakeri (Anthurium bakeri) 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.
Tempting berries
The bright red-orange berries can attract pets and children; they share the plant's oxalate toxicity, so keep the plant out of reach.
Browning leaf tips
Usually dry air or hard water; raise humidity modestly and use filtered water, flushing the mix to remove salts.
Yellowing leaves
Often overwatering or poor drainage; let the surface dry between waterings and confirm the mix drains freely.
Sparse, thin growth
Too little light reduces vigour and flowering; move to a brighter indirect spot for fuller foliage and berries.
