Anthurium dolichostachyum (Anthurium dolichostachyum) 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
Low humidity or salt buildup; raise humidity above 65% and flush the mix with rainwater or filtered water.
Yellowing leaves
Commonly overwatering or a soggy mix; let the surface dry more between waterings and check that the pot drains freely.
Stalled growth
Too little light or cold; move to brighter indirect light and keep temperatures above 18°C.
