Today we will talk about anthurium: why its leaves turn yellow and how to avoid it.
Features care and cultivation of anthurium
Anthurium is not an unpretentious flower, because for its full growth and development the following conditions are necessary:
- temperature from + 15 ° С;
- high humidity;
- bright ambient lighting;
- soil rich in humus and peat;
- good drainage;

Did you know? Under ideal conditions, anthurium can bloom at any time of the year, and sometimes all year round.
Why do anthurium dry and turn yellow leaves and what to do
There are several reasons for the yellowing of the foliage of this plant. Let us consider in more detail each of them, and also find out how to deal with them. But do not forget about the natural process of aging of the foliage (the fall is considered the norm). 
Violation of the rules of fertilization and irrigation
Excessive saturation of the soil with nutrients causes this unpleasant phenomenon. So, in the summer, you can feed a flower up to 2 times a month, in the cold season one is enough.
To remedy the situation, it is necessary to change the soil in which the anthurium grows, having previously washed the root system with clean water, after which it is necessary to water the plant and lengthen the pause between fertilization.
You should not get involved in watering, because too wet soil can lead to subsequent rotting of the roots, so seeing the yellowed leaves, you need to limit the water nutrition of the flower.
Incorrect location
When placing a flowerpot with a flower, it is necessary to take into account that direct sunlight can leave burns on the sheets and, as a result, yellow spots. The plant loves bright and diffused lighting, so not only an excess, but also a lack of light affects the appearance of the anthurium.
In the autumn-winter period, it is important to observe this indicator and, if necessary, place a flower under an ultraviolet lamp. Do not forget about the destructive effects of drafts on living organisms and protect plants from them.
Unsuitable growing container
Feels good flower in a wide low pot with plenty of drainage. In cramped conditions, the root system does not receive proper nutrition, as a result of which anthurium leaves begin to turn yellow. 
Possible diseases and pests
Eliminating all the above reasons, you should pay attention to the presence of pests and diseases.
Yellowing foliage can cause:
- Chlorosis - A disease caused by a violation of chlorophyll conversion. This will tell the yellow sheets on the edges with green streaks. To eliminate the problem, you must apply fertilizer with easily digestible iron.
- Fusarium - fungal infection, due to which the green part turns yellow, darkens and falls. For prevention, you should spray the plant with antifungal agents. To save the plants, they take away the intact part of the root, from which the young shoots are germinated.
- Septoria - A fungal infection that develops in conditions of light deficiency and when water stagnates in the soil. For treatment, the affected tissues are removed and the remaining plant is treated with special preparations or copper-containing solutions, after which the flower is sent to quarantine, since disputes may live for some time in the soil.
Why do anthurium leaves turn yellow after transplanting?
Most often, this problem is formed after transplanting a flower, while it is important to know from what it happened, and how to save the plant. Most likely, during the process the root system was damaged, which should recover in time. It is also worth choosing the right soil for transplanting: a mixture of 2 parts of leafy ground, peat, soil and 1 part of sand is well suited for this. Do not forget about good drainage.
Important! Anthurium is a poisonous plant. Its juice, ingested, causes poisoning, and on the skin - irritation. That is why all the work on the care of the flower should be carried out in protective gloves.
Preventive measures
