Troubleshooting
Anthurium marmoratum problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium marmoratum (Anthurium marmoratum) 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 leaf edges
Almost always low humidity or mineral-laden tap water; raise ambient humidity and switch to filtered or rainwater.
Root rot
Caused by a compacted or waterlogged mix; repot into chunkier medium and let the surface dry slightly between waterings.
Faded silver venation
Indicates light is too low; move to brighter indirect light to restore the marbled contrast.
Stalled growth
This species is naturally slow, but cold roots below 16°C or salt buildup stall it further; warm the root zone and flush the mix.
