What's eating my anthurium scherzerianum 'rothschildianum'?

Anthurium scherzerianum 'Rothschildianum' is a compact, curly-spadix flowering houseplant. Spider mites are its top pest threat, particularly in dry indoor conditions. Mealybugs target the dense foliage and spathe axils. The plant's smaller stature means infestations can escalate quickly — check undersides of leaves every two weeks.

Pale stippling and webbing on leaf undersides, overall loss of leaf gloss, declining blooms Mist leaves, raise humidity, apply neem oil or insecticidal soap spray weekly until population is gone

White cottony residue in leaf axils and around the curly spadix base, sticky honeydew, wilting new growth Remove with alcohol swabs, apply diluted neem oil spray; repeat every 7 days for a month

Soft clusters on new growth and flower stems, distorted emerging leaves, sticky honeydew Blast off with a strong water spray, apply insecticidal soap; natural predators such as lacewings help if used indoors
