Root Rot

Overwatering

To address root rot in Anthurium faustomirandae, 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 new 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.

Spider Mite Infestation

Spider mites are tiny pests that feed on the sap of the Anthurium faustomirandae, causing yellowing, speckled leaves, and overall plant stress.

To combat spider mites, first isolate the affected plant to prevent spread. Increase humidity around the plant as spider mites thrive in dry conditions. Wash the plant gently with water to remove mites and their webs. For severe infestations, use a miticide or neem oil, applying it according to the product's instructions. Regularly check the plant and its surroundings to ensure the mites are eradicated and to prevent future infestations.
