Why are my mango leaftips blackening?

I have two potted mango trees from seed. I don't live in a tropical area, so in autumn I have to bring them in the house. They are under a window. One of them is totally fine, but the other one's leaves started blackening from the tip. There's also a leaf that looks dried out.I don't know what did I wrong, I water them the same way. Last fertilizing was in august.
Can someone help me what did I wrong?
Thanks!

That new growth on that mango tree looks as if it has anthracnose which is a fungal infection I believe. You can probably treat it with copper fungicide. As for blackening leaf tips, I noticed that when I had an indoor mango tree. it is typically caused by too high salt in the soil. I would water with distilled water. I would also give it more humidity
