December 28, 2015A.Your plant may have been overwatered. A potted Anthurium are susceptible to root rot.
Make sure the top inch or so of soil is dry before watering again.
Make sure the pot is draining of any excess water.Here is a link to refresh you on the care requirements.

April 1, 2016Q.anthurium pruning
My anthurium is very healthy, but it's growing like crazy! Has become very top heavy and vine-like. Can I chop it off and stick the new top half in another pot? It lives indoors, on a pop out, eastern facing kitchen window.

April 2, 2016A.I believe the vines you are seeing are aerial roots. Yes, you can cut the top off of the plant about 1 inch above the dirt. The bottom will re-sprout. Put the top, which appears to have air roots, in a new pot. Keep it watered and you should soon have two new plants.

May 6, 2016Q.What kind of disease can an anthurium have?
I have an anthurium plant in the house, so I hope you will help me even it is not a gardening question. My plant is looking rough. Its leaves get brown and torn in some spots and little white dust on its flowers and leaves as well. Actually, right now all my flowers on the same shelf with the anthuriums have got the same white little needles. Can you please tell me what kind of treatment is needed? Thank you very much.

Thorndale, TX 76577Q.Anthurium care
I have dry, dead places on some of the leaves. Don't know if they came that way or have started lately. I know 1 dead spot was there when I got it, but the others seem to have come on later.

July 28, 2016A.This is likely a fungal disease. It can be due to damp soil conditions.
Make sure the soil is a light and airy soil mix and that the roots do not sit in soggy soil.
I would remove the leaves with signs of disease and dispose of.
Make sure the plant has good air circulation around the leaves.
You can use a fungicide spray if the issue persists, but these type of fungus diseases can be difficult to control.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/anthurium/anthurium-care.htm
