Why is my Stromanthe turning brown?

The most common reason your Stromanthe's leaves are turning brown on the edges could be due to your tap water. Tap water contains salts, chlorine, minerals, and fluoride — all of which can build up in the soil of your plant causing the tips of the leaves to burn, turn brown, and curl up.
