I'm not sure what these brown tips are on my Ozark strawb...

I got some Ozark Beauty strawberry crowns recently and I've been watering about every 5-6 days. It's right next to the window and is getting more than 6 hours of sun a day, but it's starting to get brown/orange tips on the leaves and another has yellow tips. They also seem to be curling up. I'm not sure what these issues could be. Help is appreciated!

Hmm, my guess either too much heat or...water. Strawberries like sun but not high temps. Stick a finger about a quarter to half inch in the soil. It should be dry before it's watered.
looks like leaf scorch. can happen for a lot of reasons

-too much sun
-too much fertilizer
-dry winds
-high temperatures
-soil too dry

note: i don't know very much about strawberries, but i do know that leaf scorch is not indicative of anything horrible and is pretty easy to deal with
