Anthurium Coriaceum problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium Coriaceum (Anthurium coriaceum) 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 salt and mineral buildup from hard water. Increase humidity and water with rain or filtered water, flushing the mix.
Yellowing lower leaves
Often overwatering or a mix that stays soggy. Check roots, improve drainage and let the surface dry between waterings.
Pale, stretched leaves
Too little light. Move to a brighter spot with strong indirect light to restore size and firmness.
Mealybugs or scale
Hide in leaf bases and crevices of the rosette. Inspect regularly and treat with horticultural soap or alcohol swabs.
