I've had this palm for a few years and it's been fine. I water it once a month, don't move it around too much and make sure the soil doesn't get waterlogged.

A month or so ago I noticed it starting to droop, and the soil was still very wet despite not having recently watered it. As a precaution I removed it from the damp soil and repotted it with fresh houseplant compost mix. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have improved the plant's health ๐Ÿ˜ข

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks for the advice. I'll leave it alone and hope we get some more sunlight.

I took a tour of a farm and plant nursery that rents out plants to businesses. They would rotate out the plants in the offices every month or so, to let them recover back at the nursery with sunlight.

Owner told me "there's no such thing as a house plant", only plants we keep indoors.

This feels so nakedly obvious now I've thought about it ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿป
