Too much fertilizer can lead to the accumulation of salts in the soil, which can burn the roots and cause brown tips on the leaves. It’s best to fertilize spider plants lightly and only during the growing season (spring and summer).
5. Sunburn
While spider plants do well in indirect sunlight, too much direct sun can burn their leaves. If your plant is in a location with harsh direct sunlight, it might cause the leaf tips to turn brown.
6. Age of the Plant
Older leaves naturally start to die off, and the tips can turn brown as part of the plant’s natural growth process. If the browning is only occurring on older leaves, this might be normal.
7. Pests
Pests like spider mites or aphids can stress the plant, leading to discoloration and browning of the leaves. Regularly inspect the plant for pests.
How to Prevent Brown Tips:
Water your plant properly, ensuring that it’s neither too dry nor too waterlogged.
Use non-fluoridated water, such as distilled or rainwater.
Maintain a humid environment for the plant, especially during dry months.
Avoid over-fertilizing and flush the soil with water every couple of months to remove any salt buildup.
Place your plant in bright, indirect sunlight, and avoid direct sun exposure.
By addressing these factors, you can help your spider plant thrive and prevent those pesky brown tips from appearing.
