brown tips on Alocasia Baginda
Quick answer
If your Alocasia Baginda has brown tips, the most likely cause is: Alocasia baginda has the same basic requirements as Alocasia x amazonica and prefers humidity at or above 50 percent with steady warmth above 15 degrees C. When indoor humidity falls below this range, the broad waxy leaf tips dry first and crisp into brown patches, and bright direct sunlight compounds the damage by scorching the thin tissue at the margins.
Start here:
- 1. Group the Alocasia baginda with other tropical houseplants or set it on a tray of pebbles and water to lift the local humidity above 50 percent around its leaves.
- 2. Move the plant out of direct sun and any draught from central heating, fireplaces, or air conditioning into a bright but indirect spot where the leaf tips are not continually baked.
