You should have asked long before you tormented the plant.
Your living room is far too dry for the plant to grow well.
Mist the leaves with water every few days.
So how about my bathroom there is no window though or should I just mist it every day?
Oh yeah I forgot I got the plant only a week ago so I did ask as soon as I noticed a difficulty So I tried not to torcher it too much ::-)
Thanks for the advice I hope I can bring it through I really like it al lot I Thanks Michelle
You can do whatever you want, but palms ordinarily do not make good houseplants in a dry climate. Indoor heating is very hard on them, us and the furniture. I have a whole house humidifyer and it is difficult to raise palms in here...and the humidity is always kept at approximately 60%.
