Anthurium faustomirandae problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium faustomirandae (Anthurium faustomirandae) 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.
Floppy, weak petioles
Usually too little light for such large leaves; move to brighter indirect light to firm up the stalks.
Brown leaf edges
Dry air or mineral buildup on the big blades; raise humidity and water with filtered water, flushing salts.
Root rot
A waterlogged or compacted mix overwhelms the thick roots; use a coarse medium and let the surface dry between waterings.
Tipping over
Top-heavy growth in a light pot; repot into a wide, heavy container to anchor the large crown.
