What is causing the edges to brown?

In zone 7 for reference

Thought too much sun so I just moved Phil from sitting 1ft from a south facing window. To 10 ft from south and 4ft from east.

Advice appreciated.

Hi there, I learned recently that this can also be a sign of high chlorine in your water? If you’re using water straight from the tap you might want to try filtered. Hope your plant gets better!

Thank you, I will start using filtered to see if he improves
