has it been outside before ??
and if so ,how long have it been inside ??

it might be to low humidty or been over waterd !!
have you cechktkk for parasite on roots or leafs ??

repot and wash the rroots and then keep the humidty hige maby extra light .

It was outside all summer, inside since the beginning of November, and outside periodically during the warmer weather we've been having. A poster on another board thought it may be root rot. I just repotted and the roots look fine. I have about 20 other palms under the same grow lights for 8-10 hours per day and they are all doing fine.

have you check the inner spear ??

or do you think i might have got a shock from outside to inside .

or is it to hot for the palm

I think you have over watered this tree
needle's do not take that much water especially in the
wintertime cut back on your watering and i bet this summer it will green back up.
Here's a link....

I actually think now that it is a combination of underwatering and too close to grow lights. The leaves are very dry and have shriveled much more now than when I posted the pic. I only watered every 2-3 weeks. I repotted the other day and the roots looked perfect. We'll see if I can keep it alive long enough to get it in the ground.

I had some small Waggies that I brought inside last year do the same thing ... not sure why and they did fine once I got them back outside in March of last year .... I had a Med., Fan Palm, the Blue kind, dry up and die this year inside the house while the one potted on my car port has not had any problems ...... this winter has been mild so I have all of my potted palms on my car port protected from rain and snow ALL WINTER and they are doing much better then the ones I brought inside .... I think if you can keep these guys dry in the winter and prevent the pots from freezing solid then it is better to leave them outside on a car port, porch or garage.

I am overwintering some outside in my garage. So far so good. But I don't feel comfortable leaving them outdoors in pots with our temps, below freezing every night for about 2 weeks now.

The thing I find most strange is the rapid drying, browning and shriveling. I will post a pic later when I have time, they are much worse now than in the picture. They had been growing fine since late November. All other palms doing fine under identical conditions.

I had a needle about that same size. Mine croaked after I brought it indoors. It was weird it seemed to be doing fine outdoors in the 30s and 40s of November. once I brought it in to the 60s it died. Very strange.
