Does anyone know why the tips of the leaves are going brown? I do my best to keep the soil moist. I water it about once a week. Maybe twice if it's really hot.
I’d deep soak the plant.
You need to submerge the whole pot into a bucket (or sink) of room-temperature water. The water level needs to be well over the rim / top of the pot. May need to be weighted down to stop the pot floating to the top of the water.
Leave the pot submerged until the bubbles stop (takes longer the bigger the pot and the drier the potting mix).
Do this regularly.
An important thing is to water thoroughly when you do water. You should water when the plant needs it and not just to a timetable. Stick your finger in the potting mix: is it dry, wet or just right? If wet: don’t water. If just right: water thoroughly. If dry: deep soak.
