Why do strawberry leaves dry at the edges: how to save berry bushes
Strawberry leaves are an indicator of the health of the bush.
Therefore, if something is wrong with them, this indicates possible errors in growing strawberries and other reasons.
Together with the expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , we figure out what the drying edges of a strawberry plant indicate.
Why do strawberry leaf edges dry out?
The most common reason for such behavior is the dying off of old leaves. That is, the process is natural and should not cause you concern.
However, the leaves can also dry out because the strawberries are not getting enough water to grow. This problem is especially common during the height of the summer heat.
At the same time, watering can cause the leaves to dry out. If drops of water remain on them, then when exposed to hot sunlight, sunburn occurs.
Also, the leaves dry out due to a lack of phosphorus and potassium, so it is necessary to add these fertilizers to feed the berry bush.
