My elephant ear plants are turning brown around the edge of the ears. does anyone know why?

Browning around the outer edges of a leaf usually indicates a lack of water; water is not getting out to the edge of the leaf.





Water thoroughly so that water comes out the bottom of the pot into a saucer. Let sit for 30-60 minutes, then drain. Repeat once a week or when the top inch of the soil is dry.





You can trim away the browned part with scissors.

Are they in the ground or in pots? Brown on the edge if they are in containers might mean salt burn especially if they are not draining properly. Make sure they have good drainage and part shade. Water well about twice a week.





It's really difficult to diagnose with limited info.
Reply:it could be that they arent being watered enough when you do water, watering althe way through the container until it runs out the bottom, make sure the pot has good drainage, dont over fertilize, more is not better
Reply:Brown usually means not enough water - yellow usually means too much water.
