Tissue culture anthurium?

I won this plant in a giveaway 7ish months ago and don’t want this post to sound ungrateful. It was a tiny little 3 leafer I thought was a regular seedling at the time. I’m by no means an anthurium expert and knew even less at the time. The seller didn’t disclose that it was a tissue culture she had acclimated. Not a huge deal. Again, it was a giveaway on PS. What’s got me stumped after watching it grow for the last several months is the label. They said it was a Ree Gardens Papillilaminum. There’s.. no way.. right?
I’m sure the lab sold them to the seller with this label. Or maybe I’m wrong and it is? Can’t be though..?!

Scindapsus Bakadupati

To be honest, I haven’t fallen out of love with a genus faster than Scindapsus. I was obsessed with them at first and have quite a few ‘rare’ ones I’ve collected over the past 9 months or so. I don’t think they look as good as they could unless they’re on a pole or shingling and that’s not something I think I can make the time for. I’ve, in my opinion, wasted money on cuttings that take forever to grow and have been labeled something they’re not or instantly revert. I’ve rotted the roots off a $100 Maharlika and had to start it all over and just.. 1/10 experience overall.
However, this bakadupati is absolutely spectacular. Will I start collecting scindapsus again? Absolutely not. But I will enjoy the hell out of this one at least.

Will it survive?

I rotted one of my first anthuriums.. a Carla x NSE red crystal back in November. I was able to salvage a rootless, leafless chonk that has done nothing until very recently. I noticed the new leaf yellowing so decided to investigate. To my horror, the chonk was total mush but the leaf fell right off. Can I plant this? Is it viable? Or is this just a leaf with roots? 😔

This plant’s pissing me off.

This a SKG crystal hybrid in Lechuza pon/self watering with a wick, opaque cover pot, amazing root system. It was living in my Milsbo getting 65-75% humidity. I did have her under two 2 ft Barrina bars which I think might’ve been too high. I also tested my PH and discovered it was also too high (7-8) but have since used the PH down kit to remedy that.
I psychotically check and preventatively treat for pests. Since she was a small seedling, she’s consistently pushed at least two emergents at a time. Right now, she’s working on 4, but they all get jammed under the older leaves. Perhaps not enough air flow in the Milsbo also caused the emergents to stick together and not be able to unfurl properly.
I don’t have any other anthuriums with these yellow spots on the margins. Was it PH? Was it the lighting?
Please help :)
