Why does your Kalanchoe Rosalina Don Nando have brown leaf tips? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
As a succulent, while Kalanchoe prefers lower humidity than tropicals, extremely dry indoor air can cause the delicate leaf margins of the 'Don Nando' cultivar to desiccate and turn brown.
Excessive buildup of salts from tap water or synthetic fertilizers can cause osmotic stress at the leaf extremities, leading to tip burn in Kalanchoe species.
Allowing the soil to become bone-dry for too long before rehydrating causes cellular collapse at the tips, a common issue in Kalanchoe when their succulent water reserves are depleted.
Fluctuations between extreme saturation and drought can cause cells in the leaf tips to swell with water and then rupture, leaving brown necrotic spots.
