Brown tipped leaves on seedlings
« on: January 02, 2013, 09:48:47 AM »
Happy New Year to everyone and lets hope for a wonderful gardening year!
I seem to have a continuing problem from time to time with seedlings which seem strong but develop brown tipped leaves.  Eventually they die. I had a strong Hardenbergia violacea Alba which did this.  At the moment I have a 15cm Cordia sebestena which has two of its newest leaves showing brown edges.  I have read its overwatering and as well underwatering. I thought it might be temperature.  If anyone can shed any light or tell me their opinion or experiences I would be grateful. Thanks.
