brown tips is usually humidity, but i would check for overwatering. overwatering edema starts at the tips of the leaves and spreads.

Thank you, I suspected humidity too 🙂

I have no clue. Sorry. I just wanted to tell you that that is a beautiful plant. Love the leaves!

Haha thanks! I’m trying to keep them like that 🤣

Sometimes it’s the water, plants tend to push the chemicals in sink water to the tips of their leaves. If you haven’t already you can try leaving tap water out overnight, rainwater, or distilled water
