Root Rot

Overwatering

To address root rot in Anthurium cutucuense, first, cease watering immediately and allow the soil to dry out. If the plant is severely affected, remove it from its pot, trim away any black, mushy roots, and repot in fresh, well-draining soil. Ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes. Going forward, water only when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.

Leaf Browning and Crisping

Underwatering

To address leaf browning and crisping due to underwatering in Anthurium cutucuense, ensure a consistent watering schedule that keeps the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Use a well-draining soil mix to prevent root rot. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch deep; if it feels dry, it's time to water. During hotter months, increase watering frequency, and consider using a pebble tray for added humidity. Adjust your watering schedule according to seasonal changes to meet your plant's needs.
