WHO CAUSES IT?
Dry leaf tips are a very common problem and almost always indicate that the plant is experiencing some kind of stress. This usually occurs when the plant loses more water than it can absorb, which is why the tips (the most sensitive part) dry out first. It can be caused by irregular watering, a dry environment, drafts, excess fertilizer, salt buildup in the soil, or even excessive heat or direct sunlight. It's not a disease, but rather a sign that something in the environment or in the plant's care is wrong.

SYMPTOMS
Dry leaf tips begin gradually and, if the cause is not addressed, spread to the rest of the leaf.
Typical symptoms:
• Brown, dry leaf tips.
• Burnt-looking edges.
• The leaf remains green initially, but with damaged tips.
• The damage progresses from the tip inward.
• Older leaves are usually affected first.
• In more severe cases, yellowing and leaf drop occur.
This is a progressive problem that tends to worsen if watering or environmental conditions are not corrected.
Stages of development:
• Initial: Slightly dry tips.
Intermediate stage: More visible brown areas at the tips and edges.
Advanced stage: The damage progresses inward.
Final stage: Severely damaged, dry leaves and leaf drop.

Recommendations
To prevent dry tips, it's important to maintain a good balance of watering and care for the plant's environment.
• Water regularly, ensuring the plant doesn't become waterlogged or the soil doesn't become waterlogged.
• Avoid drafts (open windows, air conditioning, heating).
• Increase humidity if the environment is dry.
• Don't overuse fertilizer.
• Water thoroughly from time to time to flush out accumulated salts.
• Use good quality water if possible.
• Avoid strong direct sunlight or excessive heat.
• Ensure the potting mix drains well.
