Overwatering

To address root rot in Anthurium hookeri, first, cease watering immediately and allow the soil to dry. Remove the plant from its pot and trim away any black, mushy roots with sterilized scissors. Treat the remaining healthy roots with a fungicide recommended for root rot. Repot the plant in fresh, well-draining soil and a clean pot. Going forward, ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes and only water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.

Aphid Infestation

Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that feed on the sap of the Anthurium hookeri, often found in clusters on the undersides of leaves.

To manage aphid infestations, start by rinsing the plant with a strong stream of water to dislodge the pests. For persistent issues, apply insecticidal soap or neem oil directly to the affected areas, ensuring to cover both sides of the leaves. These treatments should be repeated every 7-10 days until the infestation is under control. Additionally, introducing natural predators like ladybugs can provide long-term suppression of aphid populations.
