Andy, my guess would be poor drainage. If my heliconias get too saturated during the wet, the tips can go brown. Sometimes a shortage of trace elements can...
Hello Andy, No, don't accept brown leaf tips on seedlings as normal! But it probably isn't a big problem if just the tips are affected so far. If you're in...
