New plant mom

Story how I got my plant baby:

Hello! I’m a new plant mom (I started 5 months ago)
I just moved to Illinois and was walking around the town and came across a plant shop! The kind woman in the store gave me this small clipping from a plant and said it was a cebu blue pothos (I’m pretty sure). She gave me a little nub, no leaves. Told me to just throw it in some soil and water every 11-13 days (or when the soil is dry). Instructions followed of course. She has continued to how and honestly she’s looking gorgeous!

Concern:

However, I’ve noticed that her little leaf ends are turning brown :( JUST the points of the leaves though! Nothing more. I did repot her to see if maybe it was too small of a pot, tried new soil (bought this coconut husk soil [picture included of brand]which she seems to enjoy? She’s pushed out two new leaves since I repotted her) we are started to head into the colder seasons and I did research seeing that it could be low humidity or lack of watering? (I don’t think it’s a watering issue I do my best my baby is hydrated when she needs it) I know she needs sunlight to thrive (from what I’ve read) what can I do to help boost the humidity ? Any recommendations on how to keep my baby alive during the winter? I’m just attached to her lol. I moved here to a new state by myself and taking care of the plant has been my coping mechanism. Seeing her happy, green, and thriving makes me happy. Makes me sad seeing her leaf tips turning brown. Makes me feel like a bad plant parent.

Main issues:

- Her leaf ends are turning brown.
- Could be low humidity or too much/too little watering
- How do I help her thrive in the winter?
