Any tips on nursing this palm back to health? It’s been stagnant like this for about a month after I changed its pot and trimmed dead leaves.

I have a palm similar and I had to move her to the sunniest window I have and only water every 1-2 weeks, usually just enough to get all the top soil pretty wet. She seems to be doing well

Does she get direct sunlight? I’ve read that that’s bad for them.

My palms do best when they are outdoors. Is that a possibility? Also,I’ve never seen a palm clipped to a stake/trellis. What is the purpose?

It was just falling over when the leaves were dying off. Do you think I should just let it fall over?
