Pygmy Date Palm

Hi, I received a Pygmy date palm from my girlfriend and I fear I’ve killed it! I don’t know if it’s not getting enough sunlight or at first I thought I watered it too much. Does this look salvageable? The leaves are very dried out but there are still some green ones. Thank you!

:( I dunno dude , my recommendation would be to take the Palm out look for brown mushy smelly roots. Cut with a very sharp straight edge knife in a downward motion do NOT SAW, affected roots, re pot in fresh soil . cut all dead fronds, look for spears and gently pull them. if there is some resistance stop pulling, the spears are healthy (usually)  put the tree in a bright room. Do not fertilize, but do water. PS. That is a lot of palms in one pot, I would cut the smallest ones out entirely.

Good Luck
