Does anybody know why this is happening? My polka dot plant has its leaves curling and some of the tips are brown. Is not being underwater. Maybe overwatered but is in a self watering pot. Water when the app tells me or if the soil is dry. Any tips or idea of whats going on?

I read on this app from another subscriber that polka dot plants love humidity. I don’t have any but same thing was happening with my rattlesnake plant that also loves humidity so I increased the humidity and that’s not happening now.
