This parlour plum was never 100% happy and was slowly going brown to the extent that over a few years it was basically only a few bits of green. I broke it up at the roots and planted them in new, good draining soil, and have finger crossed. I read advice that it doesn’t like being waterlogged so I have been watering the surface every couple of weeks. It has direct light in the morning and indirect or shaded light rest of the day from about 11am (as per pic)
In the last few months it hasn’t grown any further, but at the same time it hasn’t died and further!
What should I do?

I would say “ always there is hope” but not with this.

As soon as I saw this I knew it was a parlour palm, mine has looked super ropey before. It has now made a comeback and is doing very well in a bright south facing kitchen but shielded by the wall so completely indirect light. Perhaps put it on a saucer rather than in a pot so that you can ensure it is never sat in water.
