What's eating my regal anthurium?

Anthurium regale's enormous velvety leaves make spider mite damage highly visible as pale silvery stippling. Mealybugs colonise the dense leaf bases and petioles. Thrips damage is a serious concern, scarring the large leaf surface. Maintain high humidity, inspect regularly, and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil to protect this collector-grade plant.

Silver or bronze stippling across the large leaf surface; webbing on undersides; leaves lose lustre and texture Raise humidity consistently above 60%; rinse foliage; spray with neem oil or insecticidal soap every 7 days for 4 weeks

White cottony masses at petiole bases, in the crown, and along leaf veins; sticky honeydew Dab with 70% isopropyl alcohol; apply insecticidal soap spray; repeat weekly; inspect the crown carefully where colonies hide

Silver-grey streaks and scars on leaf surfaces; distorted new leaves; tiny dark frass specks visible Remove heavily damaged leaves; apply spinosad or insecticidal soap spray; use blue sticky traps to monitor adults; repeat every 5 days
