    Hello.
    One of my lewisia cotyledon has developed red leaf tips and lower leaves have gone limp. Any suggestions please.

    I'd say its just normal, I believe these are alpine plants from north America, so very good drainage and high light levels, biggest problem is rotting over the winter months.

    Lower leaves going limp is a sign that they've too much water.
