When you say “keeping up with the watering,” what do you mean? Make sure you check your soil before watering, even if the app tells you to water. Most of the time I have to skip or snooze that task because my parlor palm is not ready. I often use a bamboo skewer and gently put it to the bottom of the pot to make sure it comes out dry before I water again. So it may be overwatered… Is it near a heat draft?
