Is it your water?
Tips are brown and crisp, not just curled.
A white crust sits on the soil.
You feed often and water from a city tap.
Two of three and the water is worth changing:
What each symptom means
Brown tips mean salts from water and fertilizer, or dry air.
Leaves curling inward mean thirst or dry air.
Curling with dark patches means cold.
Yellow leaves mean overwatering.
Small new leaves and long gaps mean it wants more light.
Brown tips on a healthy, growing philodendron point at the water. Curling is a separate matter of thirst and dry air.
