Why does your Zantedeschia Captain Morelli have brown leaf tips? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Calla Lilies are tropical plants that thrive in high moisture environments. Dry air, often from indoor heating, causes the delicate leaf margins to desiccate and turn brown.
Accumulated mineral salts from tap water or excessive fertilization can burn the sensitive leaf extremities of Zantedeschia. This often manifests as distinct brown necrosis at the edges.
Allowing the rhizome to dry out completely between waterings stresses the plant, leading to tip dieback. Conversely, a lack of moisture prevents the large leaves from maintaining turgor pressure.
Excessive moisture around the base of the leaves can trigger fungal pathogens. While often presenting as spots, advanced stages can cause the edges to turn brown and rot.
