Hi, bought a palm tree from a store 3 wks ago and already showing problems. I\'m not sure what the actual cause of problem is. Placed the palm tree at a location away from draft, no direct sunlight and watered lightly when top inch soil gets dry. No pests observed. Some of the fronds are shriveling & browning (had to cut a couple of them off). Am attaching a couple of pics. In need of advice on how to fix this problem. Thanks!
