Brown leaves on Parlour Palm

That's it, why is this, do you think?

 

I think the two most likely possibilities are dry air or someone/something brushing against it.

 

Irregular watering can cause the plant to start losing leaves, although some of these are lost naturally as the plant ages. If the plant is potbound it might need repotting to make watering easier to control. A photo would help.

 

Not very clear, but gives an idea. Thanks.

 

It's hard to tell, but if it's just the older leaves (the ones from the outsides of the little clumps, if that makes sense) then it's probably just natural loss of the old leaves. Nothing to worry about - you can snip them off close to the base if you don't like how they look.

Another possibility might be too much direct sun (I can't tell which way the window is facing). They prefer indirect light.

 

That helps @ennnceee. Does the container have a drainage hole? It looks like a fair sized pot for the size of the plant. If the container doesn't have a drainage hole, I would repot the plant in one that does, using fresh houseplant compost. When you water, only do so when the top couple of cms of compost feel dry and let the water run out of the container, only watering again when the top feels dry. In the meantime, remove the browning leaves, they won't recover and this will encourage new leaves to form.

 

North facing. Many thanks.

 

Hmmm. It doesn't look overly happy but at this time of the year that's quite normal. I think I can spot some new growth which is a very good sign.

Is there a radiator under the window? Indoor palms in general dislike that as they prefer humidity in the air.

I'd suggest to trim away all dead and dying leaves, take it out from the pot to see if it needs re-potting, and water sparingly with dilute liquid seaweed. It's not sagging so the usual suspect of overwatering doesn't seem to be the issue.

The plant has a lovely shape, very graceful

 

I dont think they like direct sunshine.

 

Parlour palms prefer a cool room away from heat and windows but that isn't always possible. This one I had many years ago had slight browning of some leaves, even though it was away from direct light and in a slightly cooler room. It's a plant that was popular back in the Victorian era as it was happy in a darker unheated room.
