Troubleshooting
Anthurium Pedatum problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium Pedatum (Anthurium pedatum) 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.
Reduced leaf lobing
Often too little light or a juvenile plant. Provide brighter indirect light and patience as mature leaves develop deeper divisions.
Brown leaf tips
Low humidity or mineral buildup from hard water. Raise humidity and switch to rain or filtered water.
Root rot
From a soggy or compacted mix. Use a chunky aroid blend and let the surface dry between waterings.
Spider mites and scale
Inspect the divided leaves and petioles, especially in dry air; treat early with horticultural soap or alcohol swabs.
