Q.crinum lilies have ends of their leaves drying out
Our crinum lilies consistently have the ends of their leaves drying out. What’s the problem? We live in The Villages, FL. The garden area is irrigated twice a week. I see that they like moisture. I suppose they could like more than they’re getting, but could this be a lack of fertilizer or minerals? I’ve seen other varieties in the area that don’t appear to have the same problem.
The leaves drying and looking a little untidy is not that unusual.
You can increase watering but make sure the soil is not soggy, just moist.
I would trim away the dead material.
Do not apply any fertilizer at this time. Spring would be a better time to fertilize with an all purpose balanced fertilizer.
