Identifying Nutrient Burn
Nutrient burn is typically caused by over-fertilization or incorrect nutrient ratios. Look for brown, crispy leaf tips and edges as a sign of nutrient burn.
Identifying Light Burn
Light burn is caused by excessive light exposure. Symptoms include bleached or browned leaf tips and edges. Adjusting the distance between the plant and the light source can help prevent light burn.
Preventing and Treating Burns
Preventing burns involves monitoring nutrient levels, light exposure, and humidity. If a burn occurs, adjust the environmental factors or prune affected leaves to promote healing.
