Hey! Anybody got any advice on what I do when my plant starts to get dying leafs? And how I care for it after they start to die do I cut them short or leave them to fall?

Up to you I leave them on or I cut them off. Depends on the moment 😊🍀

Unless a leaf is just yellowing, I always break them off. Any splotches or brown and they get nipped. Simply because I've gotten into the habit, because if it is something like fungal, they're highly infectious.

Yes cut the yellow leaves off. The plant will focus its energy on trying to save that yellow leaf but it will die anyway so cut them off and the plant will focus on growing new leaves

yes feel free to prune anthuriums! also mist her!!!! i mist mine about every morning and when i go to bed but i also have a humidity monitor ($5-10 on amazon) and keep her betwren 50-60%! they also really hate water that isn’t purified! it was on my original tag when i got the plant that it requires filtered purified water
