water
So I use the watering pot measurement tool to determine how much water is needed. I’m wondering if you have to increase the amount of water if the pot is deeper? I guess my question is how do you know if you’re getting too little as I would think you would also need to take into consideration how far down the roots go to make sure that they’re getting enough water as well? When I take a picture and do the diagnosis, it tells me that the yellow spots on the leaves are from a water issue. I believe in my case it was that potentially it’s not getting enough water I’d like to hear.

The plant appears to be a red anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum). It has a beautiful red flower with waxy petals and a green stem. The pot it's in is made of metal and has small holes to allow for drainage. As an expert gardener, I can tell you that the plant may not look healthy because it's not getting enough sunlight. Anthuriums like indirect light and prefer to be kept in a bright, shaded area. Also, they require well-drained soil. If the pot is sitting in water or the soil is too wet, it can lead to root rot which can be fatal to the plant. Here are some tips on how to fix this issue: 1. Move the plant to a brighter location near a window or under a shade tree. 2. Make sure the plant is in well-drained soil. If the soil is too wet, try using a pot with drainage holes or adding perlite or coarse sand to the soil mixture. 3. Water the plant only when the top inch of soil is dry. Overwatering can also cause root rot. 4. Fertilize the plant once a month with a balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10 NPK. 5. Prune the spent flowers to encourage new growth and blooming.
Get the feel of the weight of your planter when it’s dried out but not to the point the plants withers obviously. Then water to the point that you have water draining from the bottom of your pot. This ensures your roots are using the entire pot and also prevents salt build up in your soil
The yellow spots on the leaves may be from a fungal infection or possibly a nutrient deficiency. It doesn’t look related to a watering issue. Try spraying with neem oil to kill any fungus. Fertilize regularly. The leaves that are damaged won’t recover. Cut them off so that your plant isn’t using all of its energy trying to repair them.
Not enough sunlight unfortunately
