I’ve had this pretty gal since May and she’s been pushing out leaves and praying w/o a problem. I use a water meter to make sure I don’t water log her and I’ve been keeping an eye on the under sides of her leaves and stems to make sure there’s no unwanted critters. I’ve noticed lately that a few edges of her leaves have gotten a little browning, along with a couple of crispy tips. I bought a humidifier today to see if that would help, as I haven’t been doing that beforehand. I know brown/crispy tips are bound to happen, I just want to make sure I’m not overlooking anything. Tips appreciated, if any.

I forgot to mention in the original post, but I’ve been using distilled water for her!
This can be humidity, yes a humidifier is a good idea. An other thing do you fertilize your plant, sometime too much of some element can do this. Or the reverse it’s possible, the « bad » with distilled water the plant don’t have mineral, but plant need mineral, calathea are sensitive to chlorine, chloramine and fluorine.
I hope you will find! With many calathea my philosophia is back up of 1-2 feets we do not see the faults at this distance 😆
