most likely browned tops are not due to direct sunlight--at least, not
solely. They can grow fine in full sun. however, that along with low
humidity MIGHT do it. Also, of course--and please forgive me if this
seems too basic [sometimes it's the real reason]--that OLD leaves (us.
several months) will NATURALLY begin to turn brown at the tops.
