Under or over watering?

I've noticed that my anthurium is looking a little overwhelmed. Do we know what could be causing her to curl up like this? Usually I wait untill the soil is dry or almost dry, and try to keep humidity around 80%

I don't have Anthurium I'm afraid, but the general rule of thumb that seems to silly to most of mine is... Curling under; too little water, curling up and in; too much...

I really hope that works with your baby too! πŸ₯° Xx
A bit too much water
@AnthuriumQueen - can you help?
@PotatoSoup If you haven't already, lift it out of the pot next dry cycle to inspect the roots. It could be time for a bigger pot.
@sarah10orio thanks for the tag. πŸ’—
@PotatoSoup It needs humidity and air flow. Anthuriums need stable humidity and soft air flow. I’d definitely look to see if it’s time for a re-pot but when did you last feed it and give it a few hours of artificial soft light? Give it a bath after you check for mites. Velvety Anthuriums don’t do well in open areas that aren’t high humidity. You may be overwatering a bit but I can’t be certain unless I know your exact care schedule.
@sarah10orio I feed light every watering, I water when the soil is almost completely dry. She gets 12 hrs of artificial soft light, humidity sits about 70%-80% and temp stays about 80Β°F. I treat the leaves every other water. I hope this helps, I'll definitely look at the roots when shes dry again.
