I'd like some advice as to what may be causing leaves to turn brown
at the tip.
One is a Virginia creeper, the other is a Clamatis Armandii. Both
growing in containers.

Many thanks

Hi BoyPete,If you have been feeding them (especially chemical
feed)then I would suggest overfeeding.
Miracle Grow, but not often............every 4/5 weeks or so.

Sounds good,do you water between feeds? If not there could be a build
of salts.


All my planting is containerised. All topped off with gravel. In this warm
weather, I water every night.


Are the containers raised so they can drain any excess water or is it
possible your plants have roots sitting in water?
