Troubleshooting
Anthurium Dorayaki problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium Dorayaki (Anthurium 'Dorayaki') 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.
Crispy edges on the round leaves
Low humidity or mineral-heavy water. Raise humidity above 60% and switch to rain or filtered water.
Root rot and yellowing
From a mix that holds too much water. Use a chunky aroid blend and let the surface dry between waterings.
Loss of velvet sheen
Often too little light or dust on the leaves. Provide brighter indirect light and gently clean foliage.
Spider mites and thrips
Dry air and soft leaves attract them; inspect undersides regularly and treat early with soap or appropriate miticide.
