Anthurium 'Waimea'

All spring, summer, and fall, my Anthurium was sitting, shaded, on my patio table and it grew like crazy & was very healthy. I kept it watered all the time, sometimes I thought too much water, but it seemed to like it. Then the cold weather came... sometimes it dropped down to 37 or 40 degrees. The leaves started turning yellow. I thought it must have too much water and slowed down on the watering. Finally I thought maybe it is too cold at night so I brought it in the house 3 weeks ago. I watered it sparingly because of the yellow leaves, however I just read that it likes constant moisture. Just took it to the sink and watered it liberally with about 6 pH water. What about the sick looking leaves???? I would like to attach photos, but don't see any button for that.

I have not grown this plant; however, I have observed it growing. It is considered to be one of the best varieties of anthuriums.
