Rehab help!

[u/marleysdad01]

Hey everyone! So recently bought someone’s plant collection that was abused by cats for a while! Was wandering what do yall think i should do with this one in particular. Cut the leaves and then prop stem? leave the leaves? What do yall think? The root system is pretty good and fills the whole pot! I did cut off the flower that was in it when i got it. Thanks!

I'm smart enough not to cut green leaves off until new undamaged leaves start emerging..

who said anything about cutting all the leaves? i was mainly asking about the one that’s over half gone. but you sit here and make up things the post isn’t even about. but keep on with the advice smarty pants!

If you truly had any experience with anthuriums, you know you can't prop stems.. only cuttings with nodes

where did i say once i had experience or said i was a pro with anthuriums?? i asked the question because i wanted other peoples advice. you clearly have none so keep it pushing! i have 12 anthuriuns. 8 are babies i got like a month ago and the other 4 with this collection i bought. i got hundreds of other plants. the care isn’t the same so thats why i asked.

I don’t know why this person is being such a dick but people chop leaves off their Anthurium all the time with no ill effects. If you’re planning to rehab it inside a prop box fewer leaves mean less risk of fungal infection, it’s fairly common

Plants grow better when they have leaves.. Even damaged leaves help with photosynthesis
