I never go off Plantas water schedule! Do a finger stick in your soil always!

prayer plants need high humidity. i recommend moving your plant to a room with higher humidity ( example bathroom ) or maybe even just misting.

The sides of the leaves curling is from too much light, lots of plants do this to protect themselves from the light.

The tips browning could be from tap water or not watering on time… but you definitely have too much light for that guy, they’re jungle floor dwellers so direct light is too much

A lot depends on your care conditions but generally speaking they are thirsty plants that dont like too much light. They will wilt and even burn. I have mine ina chunky tropical mix with medium light. No direct sun. I water them once every week per Planta and they are thriving.
