What's eating my anthurium scandens?

Anthurium scandens is a climbing or vining epiphytic tropical grown indoors or in warm greenhouses. Spider mites commonly attack along its slender stems and small leaves in low-humidity environments. Mealybugs cluster at stem nodes. Scale insects can settle on older stems. Its vining habit makes thorough inspection important, as pests can go unnoticed.

Pale stippling and browning on small leaves; webbing at nodes and growing tips in dry conditions Mist foliage and stem nodes regularly, increase ambient humidity, apply neem oil or insecticidal soap weekly

White woolly clusters at stem nodes and in developing leaf axils; slowed growth and sticky deposits Dab with alcohol-soaked cotton swabs, spray whole plant with neem oil; follow up weekly for a month

Hard brown bumps on older stems; yellowing and die-back above infestation sites Scrape off with a soft toothbrush, apply horticultural oil spray; repeat every 2 weeks until clear
