I just got this palm around Easter and idk why the tips are yellowing/browning. The soil drains nicely I’m wondering if it’s not holding enough water? Bc it’s dry after a day…

These guys are really picky, they need well draining soil that doesn’t get completely dry - but don’t let them sit in water, they need 6-8 hours of bright indirect light, HIGH humidity, and consistent watering. Inconsistent watering schedules can stress them out. If the leaves are turning yellow, it is too wet. If they are turning yellow/brown and drying up they are too dry.

I’m having the same problem 😩

I added a grow light high up from it so it’s not “direct” light and a humidifier and it’s kind of sustained the browning…
