Possibly a root problem? When my scindapsus leaves were getting brown tips the grower that I was in contact with said a good rule of thumb is if the tips of the leaves are showing stress the tips of the roots are the same. I checked mine and it just needed a repot and a trim of a few dried up roots.

doesn’t look like much so could just be natural. plants brown. but is she dry weekly when you water her?
