I have a bunch of Dahlias that i'm starting inside because there is still intermittent snow showers here in utah

And the leaves are starting to wither on the ends, should I be worried? I think it kind of looks like nutrient burn but I'm not 100% sure. help?

Could it be green fly damage? I've just had them on some of my plants and they did similar damage? (the plants were indoor plants)

hmmmm..it's possible, it's weird though that it's only on the very tips of the leaves. I'll have to get some insecticide or something but I don't want it to hurt my plants :( I guess that's what they're made for though is to keep plants alive and kills bugs.

The greenfly only affected the ends of my plants too - but I think that was because I caught it early. Normally I try and dispose of them semi-nicely but when they are ruining my stuff I don't care and I'll spray them with stuff from the garden centre :)

The weird thing is I haven't even seen any bugs around! I have to run some errands though anyways so i'll go pick some up and hopefully get rid of this. Thanks!

I haven't seen the greenfly flying around the plants; you could only see them if you looked under the leaves and on the stem.
