    What plants? Other info about plants, your location, sunlight, etc. would be helpful.

    Perhaps there is more leaves coming in, the center of the plant. If so, cut off the large leaves and this will give strength to the little ones. It sure works for us. Take care, J.

    Uneven watering. In other words, the plant gets too dry, then is over watered.

    Cut the brown leaves off in a sharp point, is the soil wet? Mix up the dirt, and then add some dry dirt on top. If the soil was wet don't water, for a couple of days let it dry out. If the soil is dry then water a little bit. I like to mix up a spray bottle with water and some dish soap to spray on the leaves it makes them shiny and kills little buggies.

    My experience is the tips are getting sunburned. Try moving the plant away from the direct sunlight. It helped with my peace lilies. Good luck!

    Usually not enough or too much water, always water after the sun has passed your plant otherwise the sun will scorch if water has spilled onto the leaves
