    "...wait until the stem of the anthurium has grown up to 50cm or more in height and then take a top cutting, by slicing the woody stem of your plant at a length a little more than half of its height. This will encourage the lower portion to produce new off-shoots or runners. Plant the top cutting in potting mix or soil which drains well and keep looking after the parent plant. Ultimately the parent plant will develop new foliage along with the new top cutting. On the parent, any stem node or off-shoot with aerial roots or any slight indication of them is an ideal candidate for new growth, which can be further cut out and divided. "

    Repot Anthurium when you have to water it two to 3 times a week. They bloom better when potbound though. Don't overpot, they don't like soppy, soggy feet. A good rule of thumb is that the container should be 1/3 to 1/2 the mass of the plant. This article might help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/anthurium/anthurium-care.htm

    If the current pot that it is in is too small, then repotting the plant is a good idea. Simply go up another pot size or two. It may also be in need of some light pruning of the larger, heavier leaves to help it stand up.

    It sounds like fungal leaf spot. If possible, trim away infected leaves (to the base, if desired) and make sure the leaves stay dry. Normally this issue will clear up on its own if you do this. Keep it away from other plants though as it can spread.

    You may need to give it a high phosphorus fertilizer or add bone meal to the soil to encourage blooming.

    You might also check the soil moisture. Anthurium are finicky little fellows. They don't like to get dry, but they also don't like to be too wet. You an also try to move it to higher light.
