    Mine was also getting some dry leaves but seems to have improved a bit after I moved it under a grow light with a few other plants. I’d also suggest a check for pests. My Areca is a pest magnet.

    Mine is huge and same thing is happening. The low humidity is really making it sad.

    I have a parlor palm and this looks like it could be a humidity thing. But I’d also heed the warnings that it could be pests, as that is also likely. If no pests are found, definitely get it close to a humidifier asap and move it away from heaters and watch to see if it improves. If it’s a pest, immediately start treatment (shower, insecticidal soap, neem oil, or whatever else that’s suggested for the specific pest).
