Leaves are turning brown, crispy and falling off


Question
I purchased two indoor plants - an Ivy and a plant I had never seen before which I do not know the name of or how to care for. The Ivy is fine. The other plant did good in my apartment with the exception of tip ends of leaves turning brown and curling up.  But when I moved to a house the leaves started turning brown (crispy) and falling off by the droves.  My plant will not last much longer but I fear I might make it worse if I do the wrong thing. I gave both plants some food a week or two ago but it has made no difference. I water the plants weekly here just like I did there. I repotted both plants ... no difference.  The differences in the house are - it is warmer indoors here, it has more light. It is a plant with long, skinny green leaves with little nodules every so often that look like arrowheads pointing back towards the plant. I will attempt to draw this below.

I can send you a picture of the plant at [email protected] if you need me to.  Please tell me what I should do.  Thank you. - Sam

Answer
Hi Sam,

I do need an ID on your plant before I can help you. Please send me a photo. Your schematic is very creative, but doesn't quite capture the essence of your plant!
