New plant but brown stems

I bought this #Anthurium from a supermarket. I've already trimmed alot of dying growth that was either whilting or dried up. It seems very overcrowded.
I'm quarentining it from my other plants, and have sprayed/wiped with neem oil/alcohol mix. Plus watered with 'Mosquito bit' water as I think gnats were present and that was suggested for another plant and it worked so well.
After alot done to it in a short space of time, I don't want to repot yet, but are the brown stems a sign of rot?
Many thanks!
5ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 week ago
Mine do that when the flower has aged out, just cut them off at the base and move on, they’ll give you more the happier they are! PL are pretty resilient! Careful not to use tap water tho, they’re not a fan of the chorine! Good luck
@Lynsplants plant in question is a white Painter's Palette [Anthurium andraenum], not a PL [Spathiphyllum]

Is the brown parts mushy, crispy or do they feel rough?
@Araceae yes I saw that after the post… my PP are less dramatic with watering habits than my PL and yet still very similar care…
