Troubleshooting
Anthurium recavum problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium recavum (Anthurium recavum) 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.
Crisping leaf margins
Low humidity for a broad-leaved species; raise humidity above 65% and keep it steady through leaf development.
Root rot
Soggy or compacted media rots the thick roots; use chunky epiphyte mix and water only after a slight surface dry-down.
Pale, flat leaves
Insufficient light reduces size and texture; brighten the position while avoiding direct sun.
Brown tips
Salt buildup or dry air; flush with rainwater or filtered water and raise ambient humidity.
