Why does your Gerbera jamesonii Royal Red 417 have brown leaf tips? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Gerbera daisies are sensitive to high levels of mineral salts from tap water or excessive fertilization, which accumulate in the leaf margins and cause desiccation.
Gerberas require consistent moisture; allowing the root ball to dry out completely causes the leaf tips to desiccate and turn brittle brown.
Red Gerbera daisies prefer higher humidity levels; dry indoor air, especially during winter heating seasons, can lead to rapid transpiration and browning tips.
While typically appearing as dark spots, early fungal infections from wet foliage can manifest as necrotic, browning edges on the leaves.
