Plant Tip: Look at Leaf Tips

Look at leaf tips as an indicator of plant health. When watering your container plants, check if you see yellow, brown or dried up leaf tips. If you see this in your plants, double check this plant's watering requirements. You may be watering it too little or too much. If it has been really hot or really sunny, and the soil has dried out, move the plant to a less sunny spot and water well. You may have also provided this plant with too much fertilizer. If you have overfertilized, hold off on the plant fertilizer for a while. Just keep an eye on your plant, and it should get healthy in no time!
