You mean besides growing a coconut inside?

I think it looks pretty good for being indoors...they do like humidity..

if that can't be provided one way to cheat would be to spray it with

Wilt-pruf but I would try one leaf and wait a week and if its looks good

another and then the whole plant....just to be safe,dont want to risk defoliating the palm(ever)during winter.

Maybe your overwatering? I have a coconut which is smaller but in a big pot and I haven't watered it since the end of October so I suggest checking to see how long the soil takes to dry based on your mixture cause ours watering time will be different and does this pot have drainage?

I live in Dubai... so we have to place all these plants indoors.. especially during summertime.. maybe i should try to shift it out for a month or 2 .. idk... my indoor temp is around 23/20degree Celsius and outdoor is around 28/20 ..the pot does hv drainage holes.. and I haven’t ever watered it to an extent were the water flows out through the drainage hole..

I might be wrong but I usually take my coconut into the shower and I completely saturate the soil to make sure no dry pockets of soil remain and let the water run out the bottom so maybe theirs a section of the pot that's not getting water but I don't know if that can contribute to the yellowing.

Maybe it's getting underwatered since it's not getting enough water that it needs?
