Fronds not looking so well....

Hey guys , these Christmas palms have never been outside , I was wondering what is going on?, this frond is only three months old. Is it too close to the lights?, Environmental? What? Thanks

Are the lights led or incandescent? Looks like the top tips of the leaves are affected. Does the ambient temperature ever go above 22/23C (70F)? The humidity above 65%? Those numbers push Adonidia’s limited long term tolerance to cool/chilly temps. They want heat well north of 30C and humidity above 80%.

These really do not make good house plants in non-tropical/subtropical areas, despite that nurseries will mass-produce them and sell them in these places. I doubt the light is burning them, as it looks like an LED, and moving it further away will decrease its utility to the plant by the inverse-square law. I don't know what they're potted in, but something more free-draining might help, allowing the roots more oxygen to promote quicker uptake of water to compensate for lower-then-desirable humidity.
I'd also check for spider mites, which love indoor palms that never get rained on.

Hey there LED , sometime the temps goes as high as 27, I've had the humidity 70%

What kind of soil are they in? Looks very dark

I replaced the soil with added Orchid Mix. Seems to be doing fine
