Does anyone know what these orangish brown leaf tips are? They aren’t crispy or anything, they feel like the rest of the leaf. The rest of the plant looks ok

    If it's just the tips, try letting your water sit overnight before using, it could be high amounts of chlorine that need to dissipate. This I think can sometimes be bound roots too, if it's an older plant that hasn't been repotted in awhile it might be time to swap soil and check the roots

    I looked very closely to your other leaves. Not to scare you, it looks as if the plant may have Thirps. I noticed tiny circles on the other leaves. I also could see some yellowing and brown spots on the outside of the leaves. Have you looked under the leaves? If you’re not overwatering or underwatering then there shouldn’t be a reason for the spots. Google thrips to learn more. I’m in no way saying for sure. But I just went through the same thing. One day my plant was happy then within 2 days it was ill!! It sneaks up on you. It’s not a death sentence if you follow the instructions to save it. I pray I’m wrong! Better safe than sorry. Best wishes!

      Oh no! I think the spots might be because I misted it and the sun burned it from the magnification from the water. I will do research and check the undersides of the leaves! Thanks

    You are welcome. I had the same thing happen and I thought it was due to my misting. I sent a photo in to plant doctor and they asked a lot of questions then emailed me with their findings.
