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?

What happened?

I had a very full root ball and made amendments to the soil and I got 2 props that went fully black then these two lost a considerable amount of roots but I’m not sure why. The water ran through and seemed to dry out quick. Can this be saved?

What's wrong here?

My snake plant has yellowing leaves. Is this due to overwatering and what do I do? Does it need more sun? It's a little humid here in Florida now. It has a grow light shelf but probably not too much light.

SOS!

Bought this guy a couple of months ago. He’s struggling.

The bottom leaves keep going brown and squishy, one layer at a time. When I remove them the next layer just goes the same way. The soil is dry to the touch at the top, but I’m not sure if I should be watering him again yet or not. He was last watered about 3 weeks ago. The spot where he normally lives is on higher shelf, so wandering if it is lack of light.

Any help much appreciated!

Why???? Turning brown, is it due to the soil or because she has low chlorophyll and what to do please.

In filtered light, watering when almost dry. Had for 3 weeks and she started turning brown. What do you think, could it be the potting mix?

Thank you

Help! Is it too late?

I had a Rex begonia in a terrarium and it was thriving. All of a sudden it looked like it was either spider mites or a white mold of some kind. I thought it was just the terrarium, but have since realized any plant that I used this soil with is doing it. Anyway, I pulled the begonia out and washed it off in the shower and kept it in an open container and kept it watered. I hadn’t thought about going from humidity to no humidity. So, I think it’s stressed from everything. Is it salvageable? If so, how?
