Does anyone know why my boat lily is forming these dark, moist tips? They are not crispy. They are kind of wet and goopy feeling.

Sounds like overwatering

I only water about once a week. And I wait until the soil is dry usually. 🥲

Are the leaf tops getting any water on them when you do water? I think these plants hate that 😕 - I have a couple like that where even one little drop will cause an irreversible brown spot or dead leaf.

Oh wow. I honestly don’t know. I will have to keep an eye on that. I just went ahead and trimmed the leaf at the stem. And trimmed the other brown tips. Those were dry and were there when I got the plant.
