# i recently lost half of this plant to yellowing leaves and mushy…

_Posted by skullie on 2026-01-09_

i recently lost half of this plant to yellowing leaves and mushy roots. suspected root rot? enough though i have her in a very well draining mix and water once about every 10-14 days.. i got her two months ago from Sprouts and she keeps getting smaller😭😭

at the moment she’s seems stagnant but this leaf in particular keeps crisping/yellowing upwards. i have no pests to my knowledge (my sticky traps are clean, i use a neem wash biweekly).

in the current plant shelf setup this leaf is facing away from the growlight, idk if that matters.

any clue what it is and how i could help/prevent it?:( this is my first anthurium and i want to learn how to treat them correctly!!💚 thank you:)
