Can anyone tell me why the ends of my leaves \& stems are turning black? It’s like all of them all over the plant, it has a little “black aurora” around it.

Check the roots for rot

Could be root bound, root rot, nutrient deficiency, check the pot for the first 2. If all is good then maybe fertilizer. Probably lacking oxygen so I’m going to say one of the first two options.

I bought it \& never repotted it when it came home. That’s the goal for today lol. I try to only water her when she gets wilty looking, so either of y’all know how much water this plant actually likes?

When the water starts coming out the bottom, but pour moderately not too fast.
