Low Humidity / Dry Air

As a tropical plant, Bichetii prefers higher humidity levels; dry indoor air (especially during winter heating) causes rapid transpiration that the roots cannot keep up with, leading to tip necrosis.

Very Common

Salt Accumulation from Fertilization

Excessive buildup of mineral salts from fertilizer can cause osmotic stress, drawing moisture out of the leaf cells and resulting in scorched-looking brown tips.

Common
