What's eating my luxurians anthurium?

Anthurium luxurians, like most velvet-leaf anthuriums kept indoors, is most threatened by sap-sucking pests that thrive in warm, humid conditions. Spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects are the chief culprits. Inspect the undersides of those thick, bullate leaves regularly since pests hide in the deep texture.

Fine stippling and bronzing on leaf surfaces; fine webbing on undersides of bullate leaves Increase humidity, blast with water, then apply neem oil or insecticidal soap; repeat weekly for 3 weeks

White cottony masses in leaf axils and along petioles; sticky honeydew and sooty mold Dab individual bugs with a rubbing-alcohol-soaked cotton swab; treat whole plant with neem oil spray

Brown or tan waxy bumps on stems and leaf midribs; yellowing and stunted growth Scrape off manually, then apply horticultural oil or systemic imidacloprid for heavy infestations
