Why are the tips brown?

My calathea has these brown tips and I have no idea why? Is she to close to sunlight, she is with most of my other plants.
4ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 year ago

That’s the likely culprit! A humidifier or a tray with pebbles and water might help. Misting doesn’t work too well
How’s the humidity level?
@EagerPhlox honestly probably bad, it’s in the kitchen but we also have a dehumidifier which probably doesn’t help! Maybe misting occasionally might help, that’s why I need advise 😭
@EagerPhlox thank youuuu, I’ll try and hopefully she gets a bit happier πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜­πŸ’•
For sure! Being in the kitchen can be good with humidity-loving plants too. I’ve been known to move my calatheas to the kitchen when I’m boiling water, so they can soak up some of the steam 🀣
But not too close to the pot of course πŸ˜‰
@EagerPhlox haha of course not! Thanks for the tip!
