I got this Chinese palm a few months ago. And the leafs are starting to turn brown. I feel like I’m following the watering schedule, but not sure what I’m doing wrong. Amateur here.

Palms require higher humidity usually with partial sun. My mom has killed so many because she kept buying areca palms every few years. Better luck over here with ponytail palms
