Anthurium’s leaves are turning yellow underneath

My anthurium’s leaves are turning yellow look like rust. Anybody knows why? It’s underneath the leaves which are changing colour and do not look healthy. They might need repotting but it is hard to find bigger pot. Thanks

The state of my anthurium means I'm not entirely qualified to pass judgement, but I can't see rust on the photo.  I do wonder if an infestation of spider mite has occurred, because that could create the symptoms you describe.

You'd need a 10x magnifier to see the mites....well, at least I do. You might see their very fine webbing with the naked eye.

Beat me to it Dusty, I'd also suggest red spider mite.

You may find them hard to control indoors, a bit like my blooming white fly, but a quick online search will turn up a lot of possible options

Personally if there is one I'd go for a drenching insecticide, but you'll need to protect the furniture of course

Better photos, what to do if it is spider mites, have looked throughly and do not seem to be. Do you still think spider mites are the culprit. Thanks
