Quickly browning leaves like that are usually due to overwatering. Could also be that it’s too close to a heat source like a vent. Only water when the soil is at least 50% dry and make sure to move it away from any heat sources if it is near one. These plants love bright light so I would also make sure it’s near a window or has a grow light if it doesn’t already.

Oh my God, I thought that brown leaves meant that they didn’t have enough moisture.
