Leaf Scorch
Short definition
Leaf scorch is browning of leaf edges or tips, usually caused by high heat, drying wind and low soil moisture.
Scorched leaves look dry and crisp at the edges. It can also happen with too much water or salt in the soil, because damaged roots cannot supply the leaves.
Why it matters in Dubai
In Dubai summers it shows up first on plants that were moved into sun or are watered too little. Check soil moisture and light before cutting anything off.
