Hi guys
Sorry to post so often but I really need advice on a new Areca Palm. I got it just over a week ago from a garden centre and it was really healthy. Since then it\'s deteriorated and seems to be struggling. I\'m not sure if it\'s just the move shock and to wait or change something

The fronds are wilting and two leaves have developed some dark patches (photos attached)

I\'ve watered once since getting it when the top soil was dried out.

It gets plenty of light from south facing window and filtered light through blinds. Good humidity as its on a humidity tray and gets misted every other day

The last photo shows the location

Will it recover with time or am I doing something wrong?

Any advice and input is much appreciated
