Amydrium Medium Silver keeps getting brown tips

This little guy has been getting crispy tips as of late. I thought maybe it was due to perhaps drying out too much when I was on vacation, but it seems to be progressing even now that I've returned.

Then I thought maybe it was from the draft at our sliding glassdoor so I moved it away onto the floating shelf.

The humidity in my home has been about 50% today it's at 58%.

I really don't know what's going on here.

Note, I sort of snipped the crispy tips off here. Also the plant is getting new growth and recently started growing a new stem so it seems happy otherwise

Watering

Inconsistent watering, or allowing the plant to dry out too long between waterings, can cause brown leaf tips and edges.ย

Humidity

Dry air, especially in rooms with central heating, can make the edges of indoor plants crispy.ย

Fertilizer

Too much fertilizer can cause excess salts to build up in the soil, which can lead to brown leaf tips.ย

Sunburn

Some plants are sensitive to direct sunlight and will burn easily.ย

Tap water

Tap water can contain chlorine, chloramine, fluoride, and minerals such as calcium, which can cause browned leaf tips
I think mine was inconsistent watering a maybe too bright light thru open blind
@KeyCapejasmine Interesting. I use distilled or dehumidifier water.

Humidity is fairly decent.

Could be fertilizer, drafts or inconsistent watering. I don't usually let this plant dry out all the way so not really sure where to go with that.

I repotted the plant and moved it so I am hoping it won't dry out as quickly and it will no longer be near a draft. Really hoping it stabilizes
