Hello, new to the forum. I recently bought three sets of Willow cuttings; Dragon, Australian and Weeping willow.
They are now in their first pots. A lot of the plants leaf tips are turning dark brown. If you touch the leaf tips it crumbles.
It's just the leaf tips. HELP! Mike

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Where are you located? North or southern hemisphere? (Where I live it is winter and trees do not have foliage)

Second question: where are the trees located, inside or outside?

Thank you Clicio,
I have Australian, Weeping and Dragon. See pic of Australian. Leave tips turn rusty dark brown. If you touch it
with you fingers it crumbles to dust. This is happening to all plants.

Maybe they should be outdoors instead?
In winter the air inside usually gets very dry, if the heating system is on. Even if there is enough light many times the issue is lack of air movement and lack of humidity.

Ok appreciate your thoughts. wondering if one of those small Misting humidifiers would help?
I hate to place them outside with sometimes 10 degree temperatures. I do have a sunroom
I could place them in, but does get pretty cold in there.
