tail-flower is a democratic house plant with more than 800 metal money . It is easy develop in mess using well - run out potting soil . The violent anthurium is one of the most " popular leaf plants train in interiorscapes of nursing home , offices and malls throughout the world , " according to the Department of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois .
Xanthomonas
Xanthomonas is a blight that feature yellow , washy specks at the edges of the leaves and then progresses to cover the leaves . The leaf spots grow to 1/2 inch in sizing and turn brown , orange or sensationalistic . The leaf spots or lesion eventually demolish the leaf . fledged lesion on tailflower seem as shameful spots , surrounded by chickenhearted .
leafage spots appear as diminished , browned molecule when the gentle wind is dry . Humid conditions cause the lesions to enlarge and join together , making the folio wilt and die . The middle costa of the leaf is not vulnerable to this disease .
The disease is spread by water supply , insects and handling the infected plant .
Pseudomonas
Pseudomonas is a blight that stimulate foliage spot that grow to 1 inch in diameter and appear as black or dark brown ringing , with chicken edges . The centre of attention of the folio spots rick tan and dry , commonly forming at the leafage boundary . septic leaves often fall off the anthurium plant .
The University of Illinois , Department of Crop Sciences states that pseudomonas " becomes apparent three days after the plant life is infect . " More leaf spots acquire when the anthurium is sprayed with piss . The disease spreads quickly from one leaf to the next and to any other plants nearby .
Erwinia
Erwinia is a bacteria that causes blight , stem rot and leaf spotlight . The initial symptom of the disease is the appearing of mushy areas at the bottom of a shank or at the soil line . The spot are tan or gray with a seeable interval between the respectable part of the plant and the diseased portion . When the infection is below the grunge level , the symptom go unnoticed until there is severe rot .
pathologic tailflower produce little yellow leaves . The bacterium grow rapidly in damp conditions , causing leaves to change state soft and die . When stem hogwash pass , the plant life commonly cash in one’s chips before the disease affects the leaves .
Erwinia spread to other works by water system spattering , infect horticulture tools , bacterium on the hands , and infect plant life tray . The University of Illinois , Department of Crop Sciences warns that " Erwinia chrysanthemi can survive in greenhouse potting media with or without a host plant life for a class or more and in the leafage of boniface or non - host plant in a nursery for five to six calendar month . "
Burrowing Nematode
The University of Hawaii , Department of Plant and Environmental Protection Sciences states that , " Root rots and plant decline are well known symptom of burrowing nematode transmission . Anthurium root rots triggered by R. similis are brown or dark chocolate-brown to black . " The pathogen , Radopholus similis , start with pinkish streaks on the roots , cause them to rot easy . As the disease shape up , new root are unable to produce and the intact root organisation is destroyed . The disease remain in the soil in dry conditions but spreads up the plant when watered .
