What's eating my anthurium microspadix?

Anthurium microspadix, a tropical collector's anthurium grown indoors, is most commonly attacked by spider mites and mealybugs. Keep humidity high to deter mites, inspect leaf undersides and stem joints regularly, and isolate new plants for two weeks before adding them to your collection.

Fine webbing on leaf undersides; leaves develop pale stippling or a dusty, bronzed appearance and may curl at edges Raise humidity, mist foliage, and wipe leaves with a damp cloth. For infestations spray with insecticidal soap or neem oil every 5–7 days for 3 weeks

White cottony clusters in leaf axils and along stems; sticky honeydew residue and sooty mould follow Dab individual bugs with a cotton swab dipped in 70% isopropyl alcohol. Treat the whole plant with neem oil or insecticidal soap; repeat every 10 days until clear

Brown or tan oval bumps fixed to stems and leaf midribs; leaves yellow and growth stalls Scrape off scales manually, then treat with horticultural oil or a systemic neonicotinoid drench for heavy infestations
