There are a few things that can cause this. Over and under watering can, both, have this effect. This could be a pH issue as well. If you notice brown or black at the tips, you could be looking at bacterial or viral pathogens.

I would test for these issues. Home tests can be conducted easily, or you could request the help of your local extension service.
