Troubleshooting
Anthurium corrugatum problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium corrugatum (Anthurium corrugatum) 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.
Edge browning on leaves
Humidity too low for this cloud-forest species; raise to 70%+ with a cabinet or humidifier and use low-mineral water.
Loss of corrugated texture
Insufficient light or nutrient deficiency flattens the quilting; provide brighter indirect light and light regular feeding.
Root and stem rot
Mix held too wet or too dense; switch to a chunky bark mix and let the surface dry slightly between waterings.
Spider mites
Dry indoor air invites mites that stipple and dull the leaves; rinse foliage, raise humidity, and treat with insecticidal soap if needed.
