my Nina has brown spots and a shriveled leaf! Any ideas a...

Looks like the grow light may have scorched the leaves a lil’, along with improper water intake.

It looks like it’s in a small plastic pot. I would repot since it looks too small for your plant, but check the roots from under the pot. If you can see them, then it’s a sign you have to repot. This can be an issue with watering. If your roots are bound together, they may not be able to properly take in water.

Also, as @Gordo has mentioned, your plant is stretching for light. Placing this plant in good light will help, or placing it under a grow light will help. I would advice you place the grow light higher than what it was before, since I think the heat and light of your grow light may be too intense.
@Gordo , thx for all advice! I did remove from cover pot! I want to repot because I checked it today and the soil was so dry & the brown leaves are so hard. I will attempt to repot , very soon!
@kscape thanks so much for your suggestions! I do not have any roots showing at bottom of plastic pot but I am going to repot soon! I do not have a grow light! It’s just a lamp that is a part of our decor! I took more pictures today but the plant is still suffering!
