On my otherwise healthy plants i have been noticing that the leaf tips are turning brown. and some of the new growth is turning brown before it can mature. It is happening in my peace lily, zebra plant, Scindapsus pictus (silver philo), and my pothos. i only water once a week and have only fertilized once (miracle grow bloom booster watered down). any ideas?
Thanks!

It's hard to tell from your photos.
The usual pest of most houseplants is the nasty spider mite!
Look very close to the underside of the leaves, if you notice some webbing and very tiny specks, usually whitish in color, then you have sprider mites!
Most garden centres sell a miticide follow the directions on the spray can.
Plants that are under stress tend to be the target of this pest!
You do need to fertilize your plants several times per year, but only when they are actively growing. Use a general purpose water soluable fertilizer.
I think you need to find out the solution of these pests as soon as possible other wise it may cause of other serious problems.Some kinds of pests are very dangerous for plants and put many negative effects on plants.
