It’s probably one of two things or both. They need CONSISTENT humidity about 50% whatever you have needs to stay stable though.  
You also need to use filtered water, the lime that is in tap water will harm the leaves.

Ah that makes sense! I think it’s a humidity problem.. will have to look into that! Thank you so much!! :))
