My lemony lime plant looks healthy overall. But I cannot tell why a few leaves are turning brown and crispy at tips?

Any advice is appreciated

This type of plant needs distilled water instead of tap water. It doesn’t like some of the minerals that are in tap water.

Thank you for your suggestions I will use filtered water or maybe distilled water.
