Hi All,

New to the site but was hoping someone could help diagnose what’s wrong with my palm and how I can help him. He’s been looking this way for a little while now. Been reading potentials of what it could be but nothing certain and don’t want to do any further damage. Any recommendations and or treatments are appreciated. I just want to save him :)

It’s hard to tell from the photo, but the way those leafs are drooping it looks like either too much water or too little. 
 

Change your watering habits and monitor the droopiness of the leaves.

@Croweski for the most part it looks like a nutrient deficiency.  There's some curly tips which might be lack of water, but could also be potassium, magnesium, or manganese deficiencies.  The newest fronds opening up look fairly good, so I'd guess it's just starving for a good ~2 handfuls of a palm-type fertilizer.  The normal recommendation here is PalmGain or Florikan, but I frequently use Sunniland Palm 6-1-8. 

At this time of year Phoenix Roebellini (Pygmy Date) palms don't really need supplemental irrigation in FL.  A bit of water is fine, but don't drown it.  If the soil stays continually wet then it might be suffering from some root rot too.
