I have lots of green healthy leafs but also a few brown and crusty ones! Is it because I am using tap water?

      I agree. The air may be too dry for it.

    Mine does the same thing and it's right next to a humidifier. They are little princesses!😆

    Could be humidity or tap water issue. Tap water varies by locality. I think it’s lime that calatheas or marantas (can’t tell which from your pic) don’t like. Your tap may have minerals they don’t like. Cheap alternative that may help is a faucet mounted filter.
