Troubleshooting
Anthurium jenmanii problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium jenmanii (Anthurium jenmanii) 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 edges
Low humidity or mineral/fluoride build-up in tap water; raise humidity modestly and water with filtered or rainwater.
Yellowing lower leaves
Usually overwatering or a waterlogged mix; ensure the chunky medium drains freely and let the surface dry between waterings.
Pale, floppy growth
Too little light weakens the rosette; move to brighter indirect light for firmer, greener leaves.
Root rot
Dense soil suffocates the thick epiphytic roots; repot into an airy bark-based aroid mix and avoid standing water.
