Why does your Gerbera Royal F1 White 51 have brown leaf tips? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Gerberas are sensitive to high levels of dissolved salts in irrigation water or excess fertilizer. When these salts build up in the leaf tissue, they cause osmotic stress that manifests as necrotic brown tips.
Gerbera daisies require relatively consistent humidity. In dry indoor environments or during low-humidity seasons, the transpiration rate exceeds the plant's ability to supply water to the leaf extremities.
Fluctuating between bone-dry soil and saturated conditions stresses the Gerbera's root system. This physiological stress prevents efficient water transport to the furthest points of the leaf blade.
While typically presenting as fuzzy patches, early fungal infections from Botrytis cinerea can cause necrotic spotting and tip browning, especially if water sits on the leaves during humid nights.
