Sometimes even careful care does not save you from this problem.

The tips of the leaves of indoor plants can dry out for various reasons. It is important to identify it and correct the problem in a timely manner.

The main reason is the soil in the pot drying out. It is enough to just adjust the watering regime and the problem will be solved.

But it is important not to overdo it with watering, since over-moistening the soil is not beneficial either.

In this case, the leaves first dry out and then begin to turn black.

If measures are not taken in time, the plant’s roots will simply rot and the flower will die.

Another reason is relevant for autumn and winter, when the air in the apartment may be dry due to heating batteries that are too hot.

If the tips of the flowers begin to dry out, the first thing you need to do is remove the damaged areas.

Next, determine the cause. If there is a lack of moisture, then you just need to water more often and in a couple of weeks the situation will change for the better.

Spraying with water is a great way to combat air that is too dry.

It is also recommended to place plants in trays with water, which will evaporate and create an ideal microclimate.
