Why does your Calathea concinna have brown leaf tips? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Pet FriendlyCalathea concinna is a tropical species that requires high ambient humidity; dry air causes the leaf margins to desiccate and turn brittle brown.
Calatheas are sensitive to fluoride, chlorine, and salts found in tap water, which accumulate at the leaf edges causing localized necrosis.
Allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings stresses the delicate root system of this species, leading to tip dieback.
Excessive moisture in the substrate deprives roots of oxygen, eventually leading to tissue death that manifests as browning on the leaves.
