I could totally be helicoptering but would rather be safe than sorry! Any idea what might be going on here with my anthurium clarinervium? Looks like a second leaf is slowly coming in but this one has been slowly yellowing more. I got her in July and the last pic is what she looked like then.

could be nutrient deficiency. might be why she's only got one leaf. when did you last fertilize?

Hi sorry I never saw this!! I fertilized her shortly after posting this

The new leaves are slowly making some progress but she’s continuing to brown/yellow :(
