Phoenix, azQ.Can you help diagnose problem with my red anthurium lily?
Hi - I have this red anthurium lily on my dining room table, it gets bright indirect light. I thought it needed a little sun so put it outside but I think it may have gotten sunburned. That’s what I initially thought anyways but now it seems to be getting worse. I am not sure if this is recoverable or should I just toss it? I’d like to help it make a recovery if I can I just can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Help! :)

Certified ExpertA.It, actually, looks like a bacterial infection, although they do not like direct light at all. This will burn the leaves, but it doesn't usually show in that way. You can try a mix of 1 part peroxide to 4 parts water and water with it. Just make sure that it dries out pretty well between waterings. It will not want to be wet constantly.
The affected growth may not recover, but you will know that the treatment is working when you have new growth that looks normal.

Certified ExpertA.These are not designed to stay in these containers for too long. It will be best to repot them into bigger containers, and care for them as you would a larger plant.

October 15, 2018Q.Anthuriums
I have had an Anthurium for several years, growing in an Atrium. There is humidity and plenty of light. It has never been without blooms and grew into a tall plant with two main stems and several small plants at the bases. I watered the plant a few days ago and must not have had the plant staked very well, because one plant stem broke off yesterday at soil level, and has only one root still attached and still sticking in the original pot/soil. I want to know, if I can plant the broken off section separately, in a new pot with a small part of the stem and air(?)roots buried in the soil. I keep reading, when replanting an Anthurium, to plant the same depth as originally...(which I can't, as I said it broke off right at soil level) The first picture shows the plant a year ago, the last picture was taken today, late evening, but you can see the little "air" (?)roots I am referring to.

October 15, 2018A.I believe it is highly likely that the branch will become its own plant! Place it in its own pot and care for it as you would the original. You will have another plant in no time!

Souther OntarioQ.Anthurium- flowers curling up.
I just got this plant and it is on my desk at work. It does not receive direct sunlight but I believe enough, but the flowers on one side are curling up. I am just wondering what causes this? Is it not getting enough sun? Thanks!

November 1, 2018A.Anthuriums thrive as houseplants because they prefer low light situations.
This plant also needs porous, well-draining soil and proper fertilization to produce the maximum number of blooms.
Anthurium flowers remain on the plant for several weeks before they fade and drop to the ground.
Depending on the conditions that your plant is in and the length of time the flowers have been blooming, it's possible they are coming to the end of their life.
Anthuriums grow best with day temperatures of 78 to 90 F, and night temperatures of 70 to 75 F. Temperatures above 90 F may cause foliar burning, faded flower color, and reduced flower life.
This article will help refresh you on the care.

November 3, 2018Q.anthurium plant
I was given this plant as a gift and the instructions for watering was put 6 ice cubes on plant once per week is this a good way to water and is the plant getting enough water from the ice cubes
- Answered by

November 3, 2018A.Many plants use this same recommendation. Orchids can be watered like this as well. This method for watering is just fine. It can keep you from over-watering, which is a common problem. If you are recommended to water in this fashion, typically, it means that unless you are fully aware of how much water the plant needs, then it is likely that one will over-water the plant. To under-water is MUCH better than to over-water. If you were recommended this method by someone who is familiar with the plant, then I would maintain this practice.
Now, if the plant has already gotten overly dry, then it will not soak up this water very well. The article I include will show you how to fix this.

November 12, 2018Q.Food for Anthurium?
Got this plant since September of this year at indirect sunlight. One brown spot only one healthy green leave. I use three ice cubes every once a week. What seems to go wrong. Does it need any supply of nutrients. If so, I don’t know what to look for. I am afraid to use Jobe’slant food spike 13-4–5. Please help, your advise would be greatly appreciated as I love this beautiful plant.
