Browning leaves are actually pretty common and due to too much light. I would water it just enough, more often. How often/much do you water it right now? I’ll tag @DreamMachine @idplantthat @debbiedo @SillyPlantGirl @ILoveMyPlants hope this helps
@CrispRosea40 @maci.in.bloom is right especially in a container if you have hot weather water daily. They can take all day sun but if it’s too hot and little water it will cause this . I have mine growing in ground . To much water can also cause this . Hopefully someone can help more with container seasonal s. Ty @maci.in.bloom . The soil they came in should be fine mine is heavy in clay and grows nicely. I’d show you a picture but mine have run there course for this season.
Hi Diane, I have asiatic lilies and I’m in Texas so I have to worry about heat and sun, and watering. I looked up yours for Illinois and this is what it said: “Brown leaves on container-grown canna lilies in Illinois are typically caused by canna rust (a fungal infection), sunscald, low humidity, or pot overcrowding. Cannas are heavy feeders and tropical plants that require consistent moisture and large, well-draining pots to thrive in the Midwest. Top Causes and Solutions: Canna Rust: This fungal disease is common in humid Illinois summers. It appears as orange or reddish-brown powdery spots on the undersides of leaves. Solution: Snip off and throw away infected leaves (do not compost) and apply a fungicide. Sunscald and Heat: Mid-afternoon direct sunlight can scorch container-grown cannas, causing crispy brown edges. Solution: Move the container to a location with morning sun and afternoon shade. Overcrowded or Small Pots: Cannas have aggressive root systems. If the pot is too small, the plant cannot absorb enough water, causing the leaf margins to turn brown. Solution: Ensure the container has drainage holes and is at least 1-2 sizes larger than the root ball. Watering Issues: While cannas love water, sitting in constantly waterlogged soil in a pot can cause root rot, while inconsistent watering leads to crispy, brown leaves. Solution: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. I hope this helps 🪴💕
@CrispRosea40 can you show me some pictures? The picture on your info card looks perfectly healthy. There are many different causes for browning leaves, but we won’t be able to give you an answer until I see what kind of browning you’re dealing with, and hear what your care is like. Otherwise it’s just guessing. Does your pot really have no drainage holes? Your info card also says it’s indoor? 🤔 Thank you for the tag @maci.in.bloom Maci 🥰
