Is this plant a lost cause? I got it from Aldi and the roots were so tight I couldn’t water it, so I repotted it and tried my best to prune and loosen the roots. It has been slowly turning crispy and brown since. I moved it recently to my bathroom for higher humidity. Should I try dividing the bottom and repotting what looks best? I’ve never had a palm tree before so open to any advice thanks

    They are pretty resilient, if cut down all the dead and leave it alone for a while. Full sun, water when needed and it’ll come back with new shoots

      Thank you for the advice! There’s mostly dead would it be harmful to prune it all? Should I dig out the old shoots?
