Why does your Ficus benjamina have brown leaf tips? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Ficus benjamina is a tropical species that thrives in high humidity; dry indoor air causes the leaf margins to desiccate and turn brown.
Allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings causes physiological drought stress, leading to tip necrosis.
Excessive buildup of salts from tap water or synthetic fertilizers can burn the sensitive leaf tips of Weeping Figs.
While tip burn is often dry, chronic overwatering leads to root decay which prevents water transport to the leaf extremities.
