Humidity issue, browning tip is a sign of humidity problem. Make the humidity higher by placing it on a tray of water and pebbles or place a humidifier near it.

Is it mushy though?

#### Cierra replied on 2024-11-09

Not really no

#### Alyssa replied on 2024-11-09

Okay that’s good, yeah then it’s humidity or under watering

The pot size makes me wonder if the pot is much larger than the root ball. If that’s the case, the roots won’t be able to reach all the water in the soil, so the soil will stay wet too long and cause root rot. In this pic, the plant looks thirsty and underwatered, but the soil looks wet, which would indicate that the plant isn’t getting enough water because the roots are rotting.
