There’s probably an obvious answer to my question, but i cannot figure out what’s causing my corn plant to shrivel like this. the leaves are crispy but i have a good watering schedule. if you have any ideas or comments please let me know

How often do you water her and what’s the humidity level like? My corn plant just likes light, some water about once every three weeks, and the occasional misting. I do notice I have to clean her leaves more than other plants. But she does well on minimal care.
