Brown Leaf Tips on Angel Plant: Causes and Solutions

Diagnosing Tip Burn

An angel plant (likely Exotic Angel® variety) in an east-facing window shows brown leaf tips. The two most common causes in container plants are:

1. Salt Buildup from Fertilizer

Accumulated salts in potting soil damage root tips, causing marginal leaf burn. Solution: Repot in fresh, well-draining mix or leach thoroughly by watering until water runs freely from drainage holes repeatedly.

2. Low Humidity

Indoor air, especially in winter, lacks humidity. Solution: Mist foliage regularly, use a pebble tray, or run a humidifier.

Watering Check

Ensure the pot has drainage holes. Water only when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid both bone-dry and soggy conditions.
