Troubleshooting
Anthurium Timbuiquense problems — and how to fix them
Anthurium Timbuiquense (Anthurium timbuiquense) 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.
Browning leaf edges and tips
Low humidity or hard water. Raise humidity above 65% and switch to filtered or rainwater; periodically flush the medium.
Mushy stems or rapid yellowing
Root or stem rot from an overly wet, dense mix. Repot into a chunkier aroid mix and reduce watering frequency.
Loss of velvet sheen or pale leaves
Too much light or insufficient feeding. Move to brighter indirect (not direct) light and feed lightly during growth.
Bacterial leaf spot
Stagnant humid air promotes water-soaked spots. Improve airflow, avoid wetting leaves and remove affected foliage promptly.
