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?

One is stood on gravel, the other on block paving. With the gravel topping,
it's difficult to tell if the soil it wet/dry.

The gravel topping could be part of the problem because it prevents
evaporation, so the plants could be too wet and not drying enough between
watering. May I suggest you scrape some of the gravel aside before watering
so as to check the condition of the compost. If you don't know whether the
plant is wet or dry, you don't know what it needs.
