Brown spikes are often the result of low humidity or too much sun
What is behind it when Cyprus grass has brown tips?
Brown tips never look good on plants. They make them look sick and stunted. In Cyprus grass, it is increasingly in residential areas. Why and what you can do about it, read below!
Main reason number 1: too low humidity
In the autumn and winter months, brown spikes on Cyprus grass are more pronounced. The reason is the running heaters, which reduce the humidity considerably. That harms the cypress grass - no matter what kind it is.
Not only a high humidity is necessary. Even if the substrate is too dry, the Cyprus grass is sensitive. It shows discoloration of the leaves up to withered tips of the leaves.
Spray regularly with water
To ensure a high level of humidity, you should spray the Cyprus grass with water as a care - and especially during the winter months when it is heated. Use a simple water atomizer for this purpose. The water you use should be lime-poor (stale) and room-warm.
Fill planters and saucers with water
In addition to regular watering of the soil and spraying the leaves, it is advisable to place the plant in a pot or on a saucer when potted. Planter or coasters must be filled with water. This will bring about a waterlogging that will not harm the Cyprus grass. Alternatively, you can keep your plant in hydroponic culture right away.
Main reason number 2: excessive sunlight
Another reason for brown tips of the leaves may be too intense sunlight. The leaves are burned by the UV light. Especially in young plants and those specimens in the field in a sunny spot, this can occur quickly. You can prevent it by slowly getting the young plants used to the sunlight in the location.
Main reason number 3: Pest infestation
Furthermore, pests can lead to brown leaf tips:
Tips
If the humidity has been regulated upwards, at the same time the likelihood of a pest infestation decreases.
