Brown leaves or leaf tips do not look good on any plant and should not occur on the screw tree either. If this is the case, then your screw tree needs water, either at the roots or in the form of higher humidity.
Why does my screw tree have brown leaves and what can I do about it?
Brown leaves or leaf tips on the screw tree indicate a lack of water or insufficient humidity. To counteract this, the plant should be watered sufficiently without causing waterlogging and should be sprayed regularly or used a humidifier.
You probably didn't water your screw tree enough. If the soil is dry, water the plant immediately. Maybe the air in the room was too dry, then spraying the screw tree or using a humidifier (€69.00 on Amazon) would help.
Where and how is my screw tree doing well?
The screw tree requires a relatively large amount of light without being in the blazing midday sun. If you have a variety with colored leaf stripes, then the light is particularly important, because in a shady location the stripes often lose their color and contrast.
First aid for the screw tree:
- pouring
- spray carefully
- Increase humidity
Tip
If your screw tree has brown leaves or leaf tips, then it is lacking moisture, either at the roots or in the air.
