could be any number of things
if your plant is already acclimated, the culprit could be root rot or overfertilizing, those two have gotten me before
otherwise try putting it in a humidity tent for a while

I just got mine and some leaves started to do that although its just the bottom leaves doing that so I think its more of a humidity issue or the plant isnt receiving enough water through its roots. I only just realised my soil is really fast draining XD

Haha, you know I had the exact same idea mate :P I don't know though, never tried it, but I don't think it would do it any harm. Go for it! Tell me how you get on

it needs constant humidity, unless u have the water running 24/7 in ur bathroom, id suggest just putting it in a humidity tent

It doesn't need constant humidity mine does fine in my room, all it needs is watering enough and maybe the occasional misting.

Lol, no I said some of the bottom leaves on my plants had black tips on the end but thats because I was under watering it because I didn't know my soil was that fast draining and dried out that quickly.

Mine are outside in summer in the shade, Inside in winter in a sunny posi.
I water them regularly and mist them when I remember (rarely).
The only thing I have found is the younger cuttings have much lighter foliage than mother plant which is dark green and lush!
I assume thats just because they are still settling in though. They could probably do with a bit more feeding as well. Otherwise
