    It sounds as though your anthurium is going through a process called guttation or "crying" where it releases drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves. This happens when there is enough moisture to create root pressure, which usually happens when a plant is over-watered.

    However, to be on the safe side, I would also inspect your plant for a pest infestation of scale, oozing sticky substances can sometimes be a red flag for that. You can read more about scale identification and the recommended course of treatment at:

    Is this in an indoor or outdoor location?
    Be mindful of lighting, watering and the proper fertilizing schedule.

    Good draining soil is very important. Your Anthurium does not want to sit in soggy soil.

    Anthurium is a plant that is a big finicky. How have you been watering it - is it possible you have been over or under-watering it? Given that anthuriums are a tropical plant they prefer it on the warm side (70-85 degrees) and like humidity. Here is an article that will help you boost the humidity level your anthurium is receiving:

    Is the pot it is in well-draining? And what kind of soil mix is it in?

    You may be lacking phosphorus. If there is a lack of phosphorus in the soil, plants will have little to no blooms. You can either use a phosphorus rich fertilizer or add some bone meal to the soil.

    The brown tips are most likely caused by over or under watering. Water the plants when the soil is dry to the touch on top.

    Could be due to watering issues.
    Also if exposed to too much sunlight could be a cause.

    Yes, trim away the damaged material, but be careful not to remove more than 1/3 of the plants leaves.

    If you feel the plant needs repotting, it would be best to do so in the spring but only if necessary. Many believe they prefer to be root bound.
    If you see roots coming up to the surface, they are just looking for air.
    Use the proper potting mix, as in the article below.
    Use only 1 pot size larger than the existing pot. Set the crown of the plant higher than the pot edge.
    Make sure the pot has good drainage.
