Use distilled water and the new leaves will not burn. If your water is not pure rain water, melted snow, or distilled water, the dissolved salts will burn the edges of the leaves. Water must be mineral free, as it is in their natural surroundings. “Filtered” water or “Bottled” water is not mineral free UNLESS it states that it is also “distilled.” Leaves will also turn black at the end of the growing season in the Fall which is normal. Leaves will also turn black if you allowed the plant to dry out, which kills the roots. Without a good root system, the leaves suffer water stress even though the soil is moist again, and the leaves blacken at the edges, or die. |
