Adenium with burnt leaf tips

9 years ago

What would cause this---burnt leaf tips. The plant has a large caudex so it has plenty of stored water. Another Adenium in the picture is not affected like this.

A photo would definitely assist.

If it is the tips and/or margins of leaves and they are crispy brown. It could be from fertilizer burn. Will not kill the plant, but may need washing through with plain water.

If the leaves edges are yellow, could be root issues or too much water retention within the soil. Would need to lift it and check for soggy soil or possibly soil which has broken down and needs replacing.

Check your advanced settings within your personal settings for Gardenweb/Houzz. There may be something there that you need to check to do with photo's. Can also be if you are trying to add a photo from you Cell phone. May need to allow?

Here is a view of the caudex. It seems to have plenty of room in the pot. Diameter of the pot is 8 inches.

dickmarti,

Although the pot it is in is suitable in width at the top. The bottom tapers and far less room for roots soil at the bottom half.

They manage fine in small pots, but a fresh I guess up with new soil can help very much.

Beautiful plant and nice size. Pruning is completely a personal choice. Many times it can initiate more blooms from lateral bud branches producing more flowers.

Thanks for the suggestion. The pot is an ordinary 8 ibch clay pot. It appears to be severely tapered in the picture because all the Houzz pictures are distorted for some reason.
