Hello all, just wanted to see if anyone can explain these brown spots on the tips of my Helen Kennedy Calathea plant?

What kind of water are you watering with? Tap, rain, or distilled?

I shower the leaves with tap water but water the soil with filtered water. You think it could be the build up of salt and minerals from the water?

Calatheas have a lime sensitivity. I only water mine with distilled water.
