Anthurium Leaf Burn: Repotting Mistakes and Correct Watering

What Went Wrong

Repotting into a larger pot (10″ to 12″) with moisture-retentive soil caused root suffocation. Moving away from the east window reduced light. Brown leaf edges = classic overwatering/low light stress.

Corrected Care

• Water when top 1″ of soil is dry (will take 1+ weeks now).
• Return to east window for bright morning light.
• No fertilizer until spring; then half-strength only if growing vigorously.
• Ensure pot has drainage.

Root Check

If you loosened the rootball before repotting, recovery is possible. If roots were left circling, decline continues.
