Does my little Melanchrysum look healthy? I’m getting tripped up by the leaves looking a little yellow, but I think that’s normal? Just want to make sure!

Oh dear. No not healthy. Looks like spider mite damage. Research. Isolate immediately. Check all other surrounding plants. Treat multiple times.

I recommend giving Captain Jack’s Insecticidal Super Soap. Destroys spider mites without hurting the plant

Not an anthurium actually a philodendron mican

It looks like a philodendron melanochrysm. Micans tends to have less prominent veining and a more heart shaped appearance.
