The browning is signs of overwatering. Edwmax is correct. Indoors I would say water once every week or so. I would suggest a larger pot also. You want moist soil that dries some between watering. Especially indoors. Overwatering you will end up with root rot, fungus in the root zone, fungus gnats, and all kinda problems.

Plant is still fairly healthy. You haven't been overwatering too severely. Just adjust a little and they will do great. With winter coming you will need to water even less!
