Why are some of my #CathedralWindows leaves like this ?

Iโ€™ve had Celeste for nearly two years now and Iโ€™ve noticed her leaves are starting to die on the edges and I want to know what I can do to prevent this
3ft to light, indirect
4โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 1 month ago
I would suggest misting her leavesโ€ฆ She probably likes humidity

Dears...

Please, do NOT mist any plant. Instead, use a good humidifier.

Misting creates a continuous moisture on the topsoil which creates a breeding ground for fungal and bacterial infections, which will kill the plant.

Misting can also cause leaves to sunburn and does absolutely zero to help.

It's also the perfect breeding ground for fungal gnats, which are a royal pain to get rid of.
Welp, when finances donโ€™t warrant for a humidifier, this is what needs to be for me. Itโ€™s cheaper for me to purchase a six dollar bottle of Maggieโ€˜s farm three and one garden spray organic for mites and diseases, including fungal, then to purchase a humidifierโ€ฆ Sounds really really low of me, but my finances are very, very low. The only way I can even accumulate new plants is by doing swaps/ trades so not everybody can just go out and buy humidifier
