My plant is starting to get leaves browning around the edges. What am I doing wrong? Or what am I not doing correctly? Don’t want to lose my plant. Help!

Thank you 🙂

These browning leaves could be cause by overwatering or underwatering, which have similar symptoms. They could also be a result of excessive fertilizer or excessive light (this plant prefers low-light conditions). See these articles for advice:
