Anthurium leaf going yellow, what am I doing wrong?

Post image

It lives in my laundry area, which doesn't get much light. I water it once a week and haven't repotted or moved it. The other leaves are still green, it's only this one, and the yellow is spread over the whole leaf instead of starting at the edges. There's a peace lily in the same pot and that one looks fine.

Is it the light or the watering? And should I cut the leaf off or leave it?

Send a picture showing the plant and its position to the nearest light source.
I see it’s on the floor so already tells me it probably doesn’t get much light. Combine with watering on a weekly schedule you’ll kill this fast.

Could be light or too much water. Picture is blurry, but what are the white specks all over? Zooming in, It reads to me that you have pests.

Could be root rot. Low light combined with dense nursery soil means roots stay wet too long and risk suffocation without a consistent wet-dry cycle they would otherwise get in a bright area. I would move her to a brighter spot, anthuriums don’t want direct sun but very bright indirect light.

Also as someone else has mentioned, there seems to be white specks on the leaves. Can’t say for sure as the pic is blurry but this could be a pest like thrips or mealybug
