So in my flowers with the beginning of winter, there was such a problem. I propose today to find out how to determine why the leaves of a houseplant dry tips, and how to solve the problem.

We go over the reasons

Most often, dry tips of the leaves indicates an error in the care of a plant, at least - is a sign of the presence of pests, and finally - this may be a natural reaction to the aging of the flower. So that in the conditions of detention may not like indoor plants:

• low air humidity - the main cause of dry leaves, which begins with their tips. Not surprisingly, we have included the heaters!
• too high temperature the content of the plant. Here again, I blame the battery, which are located under a window sill.

• Overdrying or waterlogging soilWatering rigid, unable to defend the water. In winter, water consumption varies, depending on the phase of development of indoor plants and microclimate in the house.
• Shortage or surplus nutrients in the ground. We know that the correct mode feedings means a lot to the growth of the home colors. My personal opinion - it is better to underfeed than to give houseplants surplus. By the way, to watering I'm the same way.
