Hi everyone,

My dypsis lutescens has dark green, dry leaves with brown tips and the plant looks dry in general.

I water when the soil on top feels dry (~every 2 weeks), until the entire pot is wet and I let it drain. The plant is a few feet away from the window, so no direct sunlight. The temperature is between 65° and 70° I'd say.

I don't know if I should water more or less or what else could cause the plant to look like this. And can brown or dark spots become healthy again?

Thank you in advance for your tips!
