Troubleshooting
Pink Anthurium problems — and how to fix them
Pink Anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum 'Pink Champion') 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.
Leaves but no flowers
Almost always too little light. Move to a brighter spot with filtered sun and feed with a higher-phosphorus formula.
Brown, crispy leaf tips
Low humidity, salt build-up, or fluoride/chlorine in tap water. Raise humidity and switch to filtered or rainwater.
Yellowing lower leaves
Usually overwatering and soggy roots. Let the mix dry more between waterings and confirm the pot drains freely.
Root rot
Dense, water-retentive soil plus standing water. Repot into a chunky aroid mix and never leave the pot sitting in a saucer of water.
