Why does your Anthurium andraeanum Sierra Orange have brown leaf tips? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Anthurium andraeanum is a tropical species that requires high humidity levels. When the air is too dry, the leaf margins and tips lose moisture faster than the roots can replace it, leading to desiccation.
Accumulated salts from tap water or excessive fertilizer can burn the sensitive leaf tips of Flamingos flowers. This creates a localized osmotic stress that dries out the very end of the foliage.
Allowing the substrate to dry out completely between waterings stresses the Anthurium's vascular system. This interruption in water flow often manifests as browning at the furthest points from the stem.
Overwatering leads to anaerobic conditions, damaging the fine feeder roots responsible for water transport. As these roots die, the plant can no longer supply enough moisture to reach the leaf tips.
