Is it by a heating vent? brown means dry - sun, heat, or not enough water.
Plants often face difficulties in winter when air is dry and exposure to cold drafts or hot dry air from heaters is common. Combined with the low levels of light, particularly in northern climates, conditions are prime for problems with houseplants. Finding the cause requires troubleshooting to eliminate possible causes.
Place a pebble tray beneath the plant and fill it with an inch or two of water to increase the humidity. Keep the water level below the bottom of the pot.
Plants placed on chilly windowsills develop brown areas if they touch a chilled windowpane. Although temperatures may be fine during the day, when temperatures drop at night, contact with the pane may cause browning. Move plants away from the window, especially at night. Never close drapes with the plant between the drape and the window when the weather is chilly.
It could be a few different reasons - not enough light, water, humidity. Here's a link with more information:

Depending on where you live, water it with bottled or filtered water. My plants perked up when I made this change. And definitely clip off anything that is brown. The sooner the better.
Thank you, everyone!😊

Featured snippet from the web
When houseplants get brown tips on their leaves, it's generally an indication of poor watering habits. The best way to water a houseplant is to thoroughly flush it until water runs freely out the drainage holes. Shallow watering can cause brown tips on the leaves.

Malnutrition is the cause.
You need to understand: No plant survives a water only diet. They die of boredom.
Plants are Weirdos. Plants have weird Tastes, and they eat very slowly too to Savor the Flavor.
So you gotta mix up what I call:
Diarrhea Daiquiri
22 to 32 ounces water
8 ounces manure
1 slice of Lime
And: 4 ounces of a Treat of Choice (Optional)
Your plants will love it alot. In fact, they like to eat many strange foods we would never consider as treats. And realize Plants are our best buddies. We just cannot live without each other.
You see, the best plants convert the stuff we don't eat into stuff we do eat.
I'm Not kidding, the healthiest plants enjoy a very Large Variety of Treats we could never eat: Apple Cores, Potato Skins, Citrus Peels, Banana Peels, Stale Cereal, Damp Rolls and Soggy Bread.
The more repulsive it is, the more they like it: Foul Eggs, Sour Milk, Bad Cabbage, Brown Lettuce, Fish Tails and Heads, in addition to Manure.
Give those a try.
I give my plants a little Epson Salt, never on the plant, sprinkle it on the dirt. It is a valuable nutrient they need.
The brown means it is probably dry and dead, cut off those parts, they will never come back to life and green-up.
