This is burning due to excess nitrogen/too much fertilizers............over feeding basically..............nothing more, nothing less..
Dwarf/baby plants need baby feeding.
Your pots are too small too.
This will cause salt build up quite rapidly, especially if you are not watering to get proper run off each and every time.
Plants growing in quality, decent soil should not need fertilizing for roughly 4 weeks and then only with half strength to start with.
