What’s going on here? (The yellow/ brown patch on the tip and the brown blotch on the leaf)  
I feel like I’ve tried everything! The leaves towards the bottom of the plant haven’t been shooting up or staying alive either. Watering issue?

Yes, water issue. Let him/her completely dry out before watering. Darkened tips usually means a bit to much water.

I’ve found that they don’t like tap water either. I’ve been collecting rain water for my picky plants.
