Dypsis lutescens

Thanks for your reply!
The plant is sitting indoors in our sitting room. There is plenty of natural light and the room does get quiet warm.
I had read two different articles about browning leaves- but both had different views. One said it was underwatered, the other said overwatered! So I decided to post the question here before I did anything further with the plant!
Any help is greatly appreciated by this novice :)

Hello!
Well, you plant seems to have had a name change - it is also known as Areca lutescens, or more latterly Chrysalidocarpus lutescens. The change in a name happens when botanists have more detailed information about a particular plant. - Your plant also goes under the common name of butterfly palm or golden feather palm.
You haven't told me where this plant is growing - in the house or outside in the garden?
If we look at where the plant originates - Madagascar - then we can go a long way to giving it the conditions it needs to thrive. Madagascar has high rainfall, the atmosphere is humid and it never gets too cold. I suspect from your description is that it is suffering from drought stress.
If you can tell me where you have placed the plant, then I can start to give you some remedy as to how to get it looking healthy once more!

I've recently bought this plant, but some of the leaves have started to curl and brown.
Why is this happening and what can I do to stop it?
Thanks!!
