I have had the plant for 4-5 months, the issue has been there and worsening since soon after I got it
The plant sits by a window and receives regular daylight, I turn the plant by 1/4 rotation every week
I water it every 2 weeks, use a spoonful of miraclegrow in about a gallon of water distributed amongst 5 different plants. Not sure about drainage

Fertilizer burn?
This looks like overwatering, however the same damage can be caused from hard minerals in your water. They like to dry all the way out and sit dry for awhile before watering again.
Fertilizing every time you water can definitely be exasperating the mineral build up as well.
My plants tips tend to do that in low humidity. How’s the humidity?
Watering fortnightly, I wldnt suspect overwatering in the reason. Especially such a big plant getting light. The drainage could be an issue though if the roots are sitting in wet soil.
Have you checked for pests?
Fertilizer burn.
Low humidity potentially? What’s it like there?
Does the pot have drainage? If not the roots can rot in wet soil and it won’t take in nutrients.
Suggest checking the soil before watering – at times of the year it may need more than fortnightly watering.
Mine is doing that too although mine is more yellow than brown. I haven’t figured out why but it’s not because of the suggestions here (mine isn’t over watered or over fertilized, it’s watered with reverse osmosis water so it’s not the minerals, the roots aren’t rotted, and the humidity is high so there has to be some other reason). I’m beginning to think mine may be fungus??? I have no idea how to fix that.
