I am noticing some browning on the edges of the leaves. What would you do?

I think that it is this plant, but I'm not sure.

We are located in Vancouver, British Columbia.

I have attached more photos below.

The following photos were taken a few weeks ago.

The care instructions linked included:

Light: A nice brightly lit spot is ideal, without direct sunlight

I see the plant is next to blinds on a window, is direct sunlight coming in and landing on the leaves?

That would 'burn' the leaves and make them go brown I believe.

No, it doesn't get any direct sunlight. I was worried it wasn't getting enough light in that spot, but I haven't moved it yet

Make sure you don't have thrips on the bottom side of the leaves. They can cause browning.

I checked for them and I did not see any. Thank you
