Anthurium consobrinum problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium consobrinum (Anthurium consobrinum) 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 leaf tips and edges
Low humidity or hard-water minerals. Raise humidity and water with filtered or rain water.
Yellow lower leaves
Commonly overwatering or a dense mix. Let the surface dry and switch to a chunkier, faster-draining medium.
Leggy or weak growth
Too little light. Move to brighter indirect light and rotate the plant for even development.
Root rot
Caused by soggy, compacted soil. Trim soft roots, repot into an airy mix and reduce watering frequency.
