How do you keep anthuriums alive?! As you can see my Queen is doing fine but I suspect she’s not thriving. A few weeks ago she put out a couple of new shoots but then the growing stopped. I had her in Pete Moss, but I think I got it too wet. So I took some of the Pete Moss out and replaced it with Leka.Any other suggestions would be great. I live in Hawaii. The climate here is good for this type of plant and she lives on a porch and she gets partial morning sun.
I have my anthuriums indoors because I live in Iowa, but all of mine are in a super chunky mix. They are heavy drinkers so I have several in self watering pots.

If you mean sphagnum moss that should be fine so long as you keep it fluffy and don’t pack it down. From your photos it looks to be in great condition, queens are just notoriously picky. Im assuming you don’t use tap water and use either RO or rainwater. Or that you’ve tested your tap since anthuriums are sensitive to pH. The yellowing is probably from inconsistent watering (they are super prone to dry rot if you go too long between watering or wet rot when overwatering). Which would explain the ends crisping off. Or the pH of your water isn’t in the ideal range for anthuriums, that can also cause the crisping at the ends/edges.
