This is my third parlor palm that Ive killed. It’s placed by the window in indirect light, good drainage, I usually water it weekly.
I made the mistake of not reporting the other palms into a larger pot so I’m wondering if that played a role. But why is this one also dying on me? I’m so frustrated.

Mine is 10 yrs old. In a clay 6” pot. No sun! Medium light. Watered weekly.

Not sure why your is not doing well? Soil holding the water to long? Don’t water it weekly if the soil is still wet.
Possibly too much sun. But I have -never- been able to keep one of these alive past a year.
Where abouts are you?
I live in the UK.
Keep mine in the bathroom so it’s quite humid. Soil retains the water really well as I reported using regular soil.
It was my wife’s originally until I moved in and it looked really unhealthy.
I chuck it in the shower twice a week, give it a good hose down and it’s done brilliantly ever since.
My guess is yours needs more water. Especially with those brown ends. If it’s winter where you are try putting it in your shower once a week and giving it a hose down. Twice a week spring to summer.
