Why does your Anthurium andraeanum Maine have leggy stems? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Anthuriums are shade-tolerant but require bright, indirect light to maintain compact growth; low light levels trigger etiolation, where stems stretch excessively toward the nearest light source.
A lack of essential macronutrients can cause weak, spindly cell walls, leading to stems that cannot support the weight of the heavy spadix and spathe.
Low humidity can cause the plant to undergo physiological stress, leading to weakened structural integrity in the petioles as it struggles with transpiration.
