Diagnose: Calathea Brown Tips

1. Low humidity with possible water-quality stress
2. A dry tan point with a clean patterned leaf center fits localized tip burn. Browning across several otherwise firm leaves near a vent supports dry air, while repeated burn on new leaves with white crust on the mix or pot rim supports water-quality or fertilizer salts. Yellow blades, soft petioles, odor, or mix that stays wet move the diagnosis toward root trouble.
