Anthurium queremalense problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium queremalense (Anthurium queremalense) 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
Humidity too low for a cloud-forest species; keep humidity above 65% and stable, ideally in an enclosure.
Heat stress
Prolonged temperatures much above the high 20s°C can stress this cooler-growing plant; keep it out of hot, dry spots.
Root rot
Soggy or dense mix rots the thick roots; use chunky epiphyte mix and let the surface dry slightly between waterings.
Slow growth
Too little light or cold drafts; provide bright indirect light and steady warmth above 16°C.
