Is it your water?
Leaf tips are brown and crisp, not just curled.
A white crust sits on the soil.
More than one plant in the house has brown tips.
Two of three and the water is worth changing:
What each symptom means
Brown, crisp tips mean dry air or salt buildup.
Leaves curling inward or under mean thirst; water it and they flatten within a day.
Limp, drooping leaves with wet soil mean overwatering.
Black or dark brown patches mean cold damage or rot.
Yellow leaves mean too much water, most of the time.
Pothos is tolerant, so brown tips mean a steady dose of something. Across several plants at once, that something is the water.
