Following. Mine does the same thing! Then the bottom leaves die.

Low humidity. These are finicky without the right humidity environment.

Thank you! should i get a plant humidifier or should i just frequently mist it?

Humidifier. Misting is pretty much a useless endeavor. And get a room size humidifier. Less refills and put out more moisture.
