Leaf Tip Necrosis
Leaf tip necrosis, also known as tip burn, is a non-infectious environmental condition where the tips and edges of leaves turn brown, dry, and crispy. This occurs due to various stress factors affecting the plant's ability to maintain healthy tissue at the leaf extremities.

Underwatering
Water deficiency occurs when a plant cannot absorb enough moisture to meet its transpiration and metabolic demands. Also known as drought stress or underwatering, this condition deprives cells of turgor pressure, leading to wilting, leaf scorch, and — if prolonged — permanent root and tissue damage. It is one of the most common causes of houseplant decline and is fully reversible when caught early.
