The leaves on my plant are light green with areas of brown dry spots. The flowers are a very pale orange color. I put 5 ice cubes on the plant each Thursday. Please advise on what to do. I also put it in a larger pot thinking the roots needed more room. I have fertilized it one time in 6 months. This is a houseplant.
This sounds very much like a watering issue. The larger pot may be contributing to this problem.
You should check the soil to determine if it needs watering versus watering on a schedule.
I would trim away to spent flowers and any dean leaves. Allow the soil to dry before watering.
Here is a few great articles to refresh you on the care requirements.

Why does my anthurium looks like this? Haven't had flowers in a few years, plant is about 6-7 yrs old. Thanks
You may have a few things going on here with your plant.
You may need to repot with fresh soil.
You can check the watering, light, fertilizer and humidity needed against the articles below.

I was given this plant. It is in a glass container 8 1/2 in. tall and 10 in. round. It has some round, light brown-looking beads in the bottom, then perhaps inch of soil, then the rest is roots. I am "babysitting" this plant for a friend who has moved. I have no idea how to care for it. It has one blossom at this time. Thank you.
It sounds like you mean Anthurium- does this look something like your plant?

Growing in a glass container with no drainage holes (likely with water at the bottom) is not the best way to grow these plants, but if you're planning to return the plant to your friend, just keep it in the glass container and replenish the water when needed to keep it at the same level.
If you will be keeping the plant, I'd recommend repotting it in a traditional container with a soil mix and drainage holes at the bottom. This will make it healthier in the long run. Here is more information about the soil mix and conditions Anthurium prefers:

Just bought a red flowered anthurium plant noticed some of the underleaves have brown motteled colouring and some stems are brown?Please advise if this is a desease?or not in correct position?Have it in the kitchen away from sunlight?
This could be a fungal issue, mottling is often fungus related. This article may help diagnose it:

It sounds like your lighting is fine, as anthuriums do not like direct sunlight. They also don't like wet feet, so make sure your not overwatering it.
The spathe on my anthruim will not unfold they just turn brown. This is my 3 rd one. I can't get it to turn into a flower. Have a water meter & has southern exposure & looks very healthy. I would love to have a flower.
Humidity is the likely missing link. Think tropical. They don't want soggy soil but increasing humidity may help open those flowers.
A tray of water and pebbles can be placed under the pot. You can also run a small room humidifier near the plant.

Have had my red Anthurium for 11/2 years. It has bloomed most of the time since, after I repotted it shortly after receiving it. It has now developed 8 additional stems in addition to the original stem Are these all separate plants in addition to the original one? They're not overcrowding the pot, as I made a mistake when I first transplanted it by going to a pot much bigger than the original pot. I currently have a bloom on each of the stems. Should I leave well enough alone, or can I plant new stems outdoors?
Examine the plant and look for offshoots that emerge from the ground near the main stem. The shoots grow from the roots of the main plant. In one year, up to 15 can appear from a healthy anthurium.
Using sharp garden clippers, cut the roots about 4 to 5 inches deep to remove the offshoots from the mother plant. These aerial roots are necessary for successful propagation.
Replant the divided shoots in 4- to 6-inch pots that are filled with rich, organic potting soil. Keep the soil moist and place the pots in a humid location with partial sun.

if your anthurium dies and has a good root body can you regrow it.
