Why does your Kalanchoe Passion Thalia have brown leaf tips? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Kalanchoe species are sensitive to accumulated salts from tap water or synthetic fertilizers. These minerals accumulate at the leaf margins, causing the tissue to desiccate and turn brown.
As a succulent, while it stores water in its leaves, extremely low ambient humidity can cause rapid transpiration at the leaf edges, leading to crispy brown tips.
If the soil dries out completely for too long, the plant cannot maintain turgor pressure in the furthest extremities of the leaves, resulting in necrosis at the tips.
Rapid fluctuations between overwatering and underwatering can cause cells to swell with too much water and subsequently burst, leaving behind brown, scarred edges.
