Burnt edges

This plant is in a bright room but hidden in a corner so no direct sunlight. Very consistent 19 degree temperature. One of the 'stems' has already died and I removed it. Now a second one starts to look unhappy. I water it about once a week, when the top is dry. It has plenty of drainage space below. Any ideas? Does it like humidity?

    Do you know what type of plant it is?

    No, but Google lens thinks it might be a mango or avocado plant.

    I can see an avocado or mango seed, I think.  Probably a home-grown seedling.

    It is surprising how dark a room is, even right by a window.  Most houses are also too low in humidity for most plants.  Is that a radiator I see behind?

    It looks a lot like an avocado stone to me. Avocados do best in filtered light and relatively high humidity. I suggest standing the pot on a tray of gravel which is kept constantly moist.
