Can anyone tell me what is wrong and how to save my palm? I just bought it about two weeks ago and it was super healthy. Now all the ends are turning brown and it seems like I've lost one whole ?stalk? Someone told me lots of humidity so now I've got it sitting in my bathroom getting some moisture, but there's no natural light in there so it's a temporary solution at best. Please help!

BRIGHT south facing window, or a room with a WINDOW that receives some sun, mist the plant from head to toe or have it on a floor tray elevated with pebbles to prevent rot from saturated soil. Water the plant as soon as the soil feels dry, and in the beginning of fall, be sure to boost the plants greenery with Epsom salts. this helps the plant remain green for long winter months. oh and you should also watch out for cold drafts and heat sources. 20 degree room temperatures are fine.
