Coconut palm looking unhealthy

[lukah]

Hello,

I have an indoor coconut palm since this summer. It appeared to be doing well, but last time its leaves started to brown and dry. I have asked in the local plant store and they think it might have been overwatered. Will definitely be more careful in the future, but I have been watering it like this since the summer, no problems. I am aware coconut palms are difficult to grow indoors. The leaves closest to the window remained healthy so I suspect it requires more light.

Any second opinions and inputs would be much appreciated, thanks

Overwatering yes one of the biggest problems for growers indoors and outdoors in containers. Be careful how your palm ends up it’s saying to you I need help. If you can place it outdoors during the day, dont  water it let it tell you when it needs a drink, let the top inch of the soil dry out. Then a little water, go by the weight of the container and palm if it feels lighter than normal it most likely wants a drink if it’s bottom heavy it most likely won’t need a drink. But please stop overwatering.

If the soil gets too cool, the metabolism will shut down.

That probably explains the rapid decline of my coconut
