Hi! I've had this plant for a couple months and the past few days it has been turning yellow like this, what can I do to help it?

I don't know a lot about anthurium, but the first thing I would do is take off the flower. The process of growing the flower and seeds drains a lot of energy from the plant which it needs now to strengthen the leaves. Although anthurium grows well hydroponically, you might consider putting it in soil using either an aeroid soil or another mix that's very light and well draining. If you're concerned about insects, perhaps rub down the leaves with some horticultural oil or neem. If you live in a cold area, don't keep it too close to the windows as that's a cold area and also increase your humidity because the furnace sucks the humidity out of your air.

Okay! As for taking off the flower, should I just cut the flower and leave the stem or break the stem off as well
