Brown Spots or Tips

Brown spots or crispy tips frequently result from low humidity, inconsistent watering, or sometimes fungal issues.

Causes

Dry air, especially indoors in winter, can dry out leaf margins. Irregular watering or sunburn can also cause localized browning.

Observe the room humidity. Check the watering routine. Inspect for pests under the leaves.

If the air is very dry, increase ambient humidity slightly without making the leaves soaking wet.

Do not aggressively prune green, healthy tissue when removing a brown tip.

Monitor the spots for expansion over the next 14 days.

Capture a close-up photo of the brown spots ensuring the texture is visible.

If the brown areas become mushy, spread rapidly, or smell foul, seek help from a specialist.

Will brown tips turn green again?
No, once a leaf edge turns brown and crispy, that specific tissue is dead.
Is it safe to cut off the brown tips?
Yes, you can trim the brown part, leaving a tiny sliver of brown to avoid cutting into live tissue.
