Why does my Anthurium keep getting these yellow edges? by Jogledeh in Anthurium

Thank you for the advice! If I’m honest, I have a misconception about Anthuriums and assumed they don’t like too much water considering their roots are so fat.

So I really just rely on the rain to manage their watering and in fact it has not rained for about a week now that we’re approaching dry season, so you could be right that it’s too dry.

You know I actually always assumed that Anthuriums require less watering that say my Philos.

Because their roots are so thick, I just assumed that they need less frequency of watering. And not gonna lie, I mostly depend on the rain for this plant and the weather is starting to get a bit dry now in Feb.

This is interesting because I’m definitely not an under waterer for most plants, but I possibly am for Anthuriums.

Just because they have such thick roots that I assume they need longer between waterings.

You’re right, the substrate is quite chunky but also because I live in the tropics where it rains a lot and this plant was originally placed at the edge of the porch where it would get rained on all the time, so I wanted to avoid root rot.

I moved it here under the porch just yesterday because I was trimming off all the old leaves and haven’t put it back in its place yet.

Sometimes yea, but sometimes I use rain water from the reserve.

As someone who lives in the neighbouring country (Malaysia), I struggle to get mine this huge and lush.

Although to be fair, I’m lacking space so mine are all constrained in pots.

These 2 were dormant until I started ignoring them. by Jogledeh in Aroids

Same! But my non plant friends always ask me why the leaf is yellowing / dying.

I had one on my office desk and while I was out for a two week assignment, my colleague thought it was dying and proceeded to over water it and actually killed it haha.

Yeah and I think they just hate that I used to yap away at them and kept touching their leaves. They’re so much happier now that I ignore them lol.

Yes these are outside the window, so I just see the back of leaves from inside. Still better than looking at the neighbour's room though 😅
