Serissa, brown leaf tip.
Hi,
I think this is a common problem with serissas... I just can't figure out what causes it. I have included a photo of one leaf with a brown tip. The serissa has just started to grow after a long dark winter here in Finland. I keep it near a window and give it extra light. I have started to fertilize it when it began growing after the winter. The soil is well draining, but it's plastic and you can see a little bit trough it. I cut away the leaves with brown tips every now and then. Today I removed about 5 leaves, but i dont do it every day, so this isn't something that will kill my tree, I just don't like when my tree isn't doing well. I water the tree when the soil starts to be dry... These "sic" leaves appear allso to be somewhat bigger than the other leaves.
Edit: I noticed that this is a wrong section to post this topic, it should have been posted in the diseases section. Sorry!
