    Pruning an anthurium is best done after the plant has stopped blooming for the year. It's important not to prune off too many leaves, as this will kill the plant.
    Examine the anthurium for any yellow or brown leaves. Pull these off using your hands since they will usually detach easily. If the dead leaves do not detach easily, cut them near the base of the plant with hand pruners.
    Remove wilted flowers by cutting the entire stalk off with hand pruners near the base of the plant. The anthurium will not re-bloom on the same stalk, so removing it redirects the plant's energy into developing new stalks.
    Stand back. look at the anthurium and locate any leaves that are outside the natural shape of the plant. These will be easily identifiable because they grow too long or at an awkward angle. Prune off these leaves until the plant looks uniform.

    I recommend covering them with sphagnum moss. This will help protect these exposed roots. Here is an article for information on their care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/anthurium/anthurium-care.htm

    This is, most likely, a fungal issue. The most common cause is over-watering. I have a method I use That works very well.

    My recipe is as follows: First, you will want to prime your soil with wettable sulfur (for fungus control) and dolomitic lime. (for balancing pH, supplementing magnesium, and calcium.) Then, you will mix the following in a spray bottle with warm water, and a spoonful of coconut oil- Neem oil, rosemary oil, garlic extract, thyme oil, cinnamon extract, and for heavier insect infestations, Clove oil.
    Spray as often as needed.

    If the roots have developed, then I fear that they are constricted in such a small space. If the roots have not developed completely, then this is the issue. I would suggest a larger container. Since the mix you are using has good drainage, I would also recommend that you water more often.

    There are a multitude of things that can cause this. Leaf drop is a complicated subject, as there are many factors involved.

    This can be due to being next to a cool window. Too much or too little light, over, or underwatering, low humidity, and many other factors.
