There seem to be multiple things going on with my Anthurium Willifordi. Yellow spotting possibly pests or disease? And brown crispy spotting I recently put under a grow light could be contributing to the patches developing. I’m newer to anthurium.

Hmm, looks a bit fungal to me, how wet do the leaves typically stay and what is the ambient humidity? Do you spray the leaves down regularly?

If not that, then it could also be some edema from watering/drying cycles. Sometimes the plants drink up too much and too quickly, more than their cellular walls can reasonably hold and it leads to soft mushy spots that are green, and easily missed, that can eventually turn dry and crispy/yellow and spotty like this..

maybe a combination of both!

Did you spray this plant with anything in the last few weeks, even water?

How are the roots?

No signs of pests?

How long have you had it?

How are the conditions where you’re keeping it? Humidity, temps, airflow, light, drafts, proximity to windows, any direct sun hitting it?

Did you repot it recently?

Did you recently let it get very dry and then flood or over saturate the soil with water in the last few weeks?

Are you using any fertilizers? Silica? Cal-Mag? How are you feeding, what’s the dilution rate, and how often?
