Re: black on leavrd and flowers

Hello @nanadell 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your plants.

 

Would it be possible for you to post a photo of your plant showing its leaves and branches. Can you please tell us what kind of plant it is. Can you also please tell us what has happened to it and if you have made any changes to your watering and fertilizing habits. Any extra information you can share about your plant will help us diagnose what could be happening to it.   

 

Eric

Re: black on leavrd and flowers

Hi @nanadell,

 

Overall, your Anthurium Flamingo Flower looks rather healthy. The browning of the flowers could just be the flowers dying, as they do not tend to flower year-round.

 

Here's a helpful guide: How to grow and care for Anthurium.

 

As for the brown speckling under the leaves, I'm not entirely sure what that could be. Let me tag @Noelle, @mich1972 and @mashthyme to see if they have any thoughts.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Mitchell

Good morning @nanadell That looks like an Anthurium Flamingo Flower. Quite a good healthy looking plant. When the flowers die off, just cut and remove them. The underside of that leaf looks like Mite damage. I just want @Noelle to have a look at that leaf.

Kind of a Big Deal

Hi @nanadell 

 

Yes I agree with @mich1972  that the damage on the underside of the leaf looks very much like mite damage. An eco Oil or Neem Oil treatment should eradicate them.

The marks on the flowers may also be as a result of mites or just the flowers aging.
