# I’ve had this anthurium for a couple of years and although it’s…

_Posted by Adede on 2025-03-30_

I’ve had this anthurium for a couple of years and although it’s growing well some of the bigger leaves look bad. Flowers are not getting really big either. What could be the problem? Should I cut these off or prune or something? Thanks!

I would cut them off. They are of no use to the plant anymore.
