What's eating my anthurium clidemioides?

Anthurium clidemioides is a rare tropical aroid cultivated as an indoor collector plant. Spider mites are the primary pest threat, thriving whenever indoor humidity drops. The velvety or textured leaf types in the anthurium group are particularly susceptible. Mealybugs and fungus gnats round out the most common pests to watch for in home environments.

Pale stippling and loss of luster on leaf surfaces; fine webbing especially in leaf axils and undersides Keep humidity above 60%, shower the plant, use neem oil or insecticidal soap spray every 7 days

Woolly white residue along stems and at growing points; honeydew causes sooty mold Remove manually with alcohol, spray with neem oil; check plant every two weeks during treatment

Root damage from larvae in saturated soil; yellowing, wilting; adults hovering around plant Improve drainage, reduce watering frequency, apply Bti drench; use yellow sticky traps to monitor
