Please help! I have recently bought a number of plants and small bushes
for inside the house. The tips of the leaves have started to go brown
on the ends. Is this because I am over watering them or under watering
them? Thanks for your help. Karen1967





Brown tips can indicate low humidity. This often happens on plants
grown indoors when they really belong outdoors.

Over-watering and under-watering will both cause the plant to wilt.
