@Brad2607 hi this is what I’ve found out, Kinda look like it might have a little sunburn. Are there any signs of pest? How often are you watering, they require bright but indirect light and keep its soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Maintain high humidity by misting or using a humidifier, and water with distilled or filtered water to avoid mineral buildup that can cause brown leaf tips.
A north or east-facing window is ideal, or a few yards away from a south or west-facing window.
Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.
Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. If the soil is wet and leaves are curled, it may be overwatered.
Use distilled, filtered, or rainwater to prevent the buildup of salts and minerals that can cause brown leaf tips.
Reduce watering in the winter when the plant is dormant.
Keep humidity high, as this is a tropical plant that prefers around 40% humidity.
Increase humidity by misting the leaves, using a humidifier, or placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water.
Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Use a well-draining potting mix. Adding perlite or coco coir can improve drainage.
Fertilize once a month during the growing season with a half-strength, all-purpose houseplant fertilizer.
Prune any dead or yellow leaves to encourage healthy growth.
Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to keep them clean and healthy.
Repot annually in the spring or early summer

Good morning from Omaha, Nebraska USA!!! 👋🏻 I have a Peacock plant that is similar. What I would suggest is a 1.- leaf cleaner (I make my own and can share that mix if you’d like) 2.- I see your pot doesn’t have drainage that might be an issue because they don’t like sitting in water…a lot of plants like to be bottom water so maybe switching pots that have drainage at the bottom and then let them sit in a little bowl for 20 or so minutes might make it more happy (I have left mine in its nursery pot and then have it sitting in a pretty pot, this way I take it out once a week and give her a nice soak then let her drip for a bit then back into the pretty pot). 3- the other thing that I see it’s over 9ft away from light, that may be another issue. Mine sit in a window that have a sheer curtain so it get South facing sun but the curtain helps buff it and a plant light. I like to preface that I’m not an expert. These are just the things that I noticed and suggestions that have helped me along my plant journey. I wish you a beautiful day and look forward to seeing your progress!
