Why does your Anthurium andraeanum Fiorino have brown leaf tips? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Anthuriums are tropical plants that thrive in humidity levels above 60%. Dry air causes the leaf margins and tips to desiccate, resulting in crisp, brown edges.
Excessive buildup of salts from tap water (fluoride, chlorine) or fertilizers can burn the sensitive tissue at the leaf tips of Anthuriums.
Allowing the peat-based medium to dry out completely between waterings causes moisture stress, leading to cellular death at the furthest points from the stem.
Overwatering leads to oxygen deprivation in the roots; as roots begin to decay, they lose the ability to transport water to the leaf extremities.
