A lot of times the yellow halo is fungal. Spraying with 1:3 dilution of peroxide to water every 3 days for 3x will kick it.

Do I spray the leaves or the soil? And thank you so much!

Both. Clipping of the infected areas can help get rid of it too. I had a lot of the yellow hallows when I first started with anthurium. And I deduced it was the cache pots I was using at the time. They were holding too much moisture for the subspecies I had. Now I just use saucers with them. Im im WA so pretty humid usually. Which is crazy since some I keep in almost 90-100% humidity. But fickle plants gonna be fickle lol
