The brown colored leaf tips indicate that the air is too dry or hot. Give the tips an extra spray or two each day to prevent 'browning'. The tips can be sniped off if you find it unsightly.

The two leaves (with a brown patch and with a brown tip) were injured when they are accidentally bent, causing the injured part to turn brown.

These 2 plants dried up completely and died after being forgotten on a hot balcony for 2 full weeks!

Notice the black color, it shows that the plant has rotted, this particular plant was watered too frequently and was not given a chance to dry in between watering.

Notice the tightly curled up leaves in the first picture, it shows the plant in its dehydrated state.

The second picture below shows the same plant after an 8hr soak.
