hi, first time posting!  
one of the leaves on my scandens has started to turn brown at the tip, it’s still soft and malleable. overwatered maybe?

Dry tips of plants means the air is too dry. Needs more humidity.  
When there’s a yellow halo around a brown/black spot that means it has a fungal infection.  
If fungal, spray copper fungicide on both sides of leaves but don’t soak. Keep eye on it, reapply spray if u notice it still spreading
