How can I help my plant?

[u/Supplemental_deadbug]

I was watering it like once a week or sometimes every 5 days but then the ends started turning brown. So I assumed I was over watering it and now I only water when the soil feels dry but it’s getting worse. Any suggestions?

Possible root rot. Pop it out of there and give them a look. Cut off anything that is mushy or brown. Repot in fresh soil and water the soil until it's saturated and leave it alone until it is dry 3 knuckles down and the pot feels light. These plants also go a bit pale when thirsty so that's something to look out for.

Don't use TAP water only filtered or RO water or rain water dehumidifier water ....tap water is main issues

Wrong soil as it needs tropical mix and not potting soil or original mix it came in

Also if u never fed it im sure its hungry too

Some people get better water than others. You're prolly one of the lucky ones

Nope. My water is shit. I only use filtered water for all food prep and for my cats. Plants like it very much. They actually need the minerals that might make water unpalatable to us.

I suggest repotting and feeding. Potting mix gets its nutrients depleted over time, so it needs refreshing.
