Not sure what’s going on with my anthurium. All my other ones are doing great. This one not so much. No pests. The roots are all healthy. What do I do to fix it? Do I cut off the leafs ? And if so where? #Anthurium #help

Remove it from the medium. Give it a soap and water bath. Blit dry. Toss the medium. Sanitize the pot. Replant in fresh medium. Put it near a small humidifier because the plants enjoy high humidity on their leaves and medium indirect light unless they are under grow lights. Your pot should have excellent drainage as well. Anthurium don’t tolerate wet roots.
You might have spider mites. Take your phone out enlarged the image check all the plants. I have the same issues. Good luck
@AnthuriumQueen Thanks for your detailed reply ! I have it in spag and perlite do you recommend that ? Il keep the humidifier closer to that plant . Do I leave those leaves on ?
@MerryJellycup Leave the leaves on and allow them to yellow a bit more. They are still working to create energy for the new leaf. You can definitely leave it in the mix you have. Anthurium usually go through this when there’s a shift in seasons as well. However, I know for sure the pot is too big for your plant right now so try to let the moss dry up quite a bit before watering again. If anything, remember that water is for the roots while humidity is for the leaves when it comes to tropical plants. Keep that humidity stable and your plant should maintain its leaves in better condition. They are high maintenance but even with the best care, they will lose leaves as they grow and continually acclimate.
