My Arrowhead plant is looking mighty lousy. Can someone help me and let me know what I am doing wrong?

Could be a lot of reasons. To me I would think sunburn at first glance. After that I would say low humidity and/or underwatering. It looks wet. If you are misting to increase humidity, that is pretty much useless. You need a humidifier. Not a little “personal” or “plant” humidifier. Get a regular room size.

I have no helpful comment, but offer empathy. I came here to say I love your pot. My arrowhead is also in a face pot. What is it about these plants that give hair vibes!?

Actually - Have you potted recently? Do you have good drainage? I had a second pink arrowhead that I got at the same time as the one in the pic. I repotted it into a cute planter without drainage (rookie move) and before I could say transplant shock, she was gone.

I agree with you that I have to repot. That may be my problem.
