Anthurium ochranthum problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium ochranthum (Anthurium ochranthum) 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.
Large leaves crisping at edges
Low humidity relative to the leaf size. Raise humidity substantially and keep away from heat vents and draughts.
Yellowing or drooping foliage
Usually overwatering or a compacted, airless mix. Improve drainage and let the surface dry before watering.
Top-heavy, unstable plant
The heavy leaves can tip the pot. Use a wide, weighted container and stake or support the stem.
Nutrient deficiency
