Answer 1

i'm no expert but maybe if you can find the proper name of it you can look it up on line or just try upside-down tree on your search engine. maybe it needs some food.

Answer 2

Your choice is too wet or to dry. Either one can cause browning of the leaves.

If you have over watered it , lift the plant out and allow to drain on some newspaper. Then when dried to damp replant with a little fresh soil around the outside and in the bottom of the pot. (if it is root bound, use a slightly larger pot)

If it is too dry, put it under the faucet and let it drizzle slowly to thoroughly saturate the plants root system. The pot MUST have a hole in the bottom, and ideally gravel or Styrofoam peanuts to allow the water to drain away from the root system.

When this happens to my plants, I take the scissors and trim off the brown tips.

Answer 3

There could be many explainations for browning information. too lots mild, difficult water, and so on. The questions I even have are, how long have they been of their contemporary pots? they may well be potbound and choose stepped up into the subsequent length pot. Are you fertilizing many times? loss of nutrition might reason browning on some flora. Do your pots all of drainage (and that i do no longer propose rocks on the backside of the pot, I propose holes)? loss of drainage will reason browning, commonly a mild browning nevertheless. Are any of your flora touching a window? That reason reason burning fairly much right now. I doubt i ought to ask in case you run a/c or warmth. fairly some flora like larger humidity, which they do no longer commonly get once you run your air, and a loss of it could reason browning or wilting. don't be too terrified of merely trimming off the browned edges, it always won't injury flora. anyhow, there's a lot of variables. be happy to touch me in case you have anymore questions. desire this allows!

Answer 4

In my experience the tips of the leaves go brown when the plant is over-watered.

Try not watering it more than once a week for a couple of weeks.

Good luck.

Answer 5

There is a 'Leaf tip burn' caused by too much fertilizer.

Upside down is a fad among a few tomato growers
