Troubleshooting
Anthurium digynum problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium digynum (Anthurium digynum) 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.
Long internodes, small leaves
Too little light makes it stretch. Move to brighter indirect light and give it a moss pole to climb.
Browning leaf edges
Low humidity or under-watering. Raise humidity and keep the mix lightly moist during growth.
Loss of velvety sheen / pale leaves
Direct sun or dry air dulls the surface. Shift to filtered light and increase ambient humidity.
Root or stem rot
Soggy, dense media suffocates roots. Repot into a chunkier aroid mix and water only when the surface dries.
