Hmm, try carefully lifting it out the pot to see if the roots look healthy? I'm not sure the stems should be shrivelling. 🤔

Could be and it does look like it from the pics it maybe that you are just loosing one of them but I would get in there are have a good look at the roots. The problem can be with house plants that they are bone dry on the surface as deep as two centre meters and sodden underneath mine only needs water once a month in the summer if that they dry quicker when the heating is on but neglect is a good thing with this variety which is why they are so popular but easy to kill if you are a plant lover

How's it doing? Did you check the soil and/or roots out?

Mine lives by french doors and a radiator, so it was kinda going yellow then dry at the tips. Repotted it a few weeks ago and it's in much better shape. Leaves have a lifespan of 2-3 years and will naturally die back - generally from the bottom though. Hope you can find an answer! I've left you a wee note on the seed swap spreadsheet xx
