Christmas palm - leaf tip browning

[newyorksucculents]

Hi all - I have a Christmas palm in a sunroom, and it is experiencing leaf-tip browning (see pics). My suspicion is that this is because it is underneath a heat pump unit and is receiving a steady stream of dry, heated air. 
 

Does that track with the images? And is the solution to move it?

 

Any tips appreciated. Thank you!

Growing indoors is super fun because it could be any number of things. Yeah I'd move it, the blasts of hot dry air are def not ideal for a tropical palm. Spider mites love dry heat, so look closely for stippling on the foliage and webbing. I'm having a battle with them right now myself. Then tap water will also lead to brown tips, the salts and chemicals in tap water end up at the very tips of the leaves. 

 

It's so much fun because any number of things could cause this and as soon as you get one issue resolved another one pops up.

I think it looks normal for a palm that's been brought inside, especially if these are lower/older leaves, or if it's happening to the leaves closest to the heat pump. Moving it may help but I think some of the leaflets will continue to crisp up. If some leaves are perfectly fine, particularly any new growth, or if the crispy leaves have some logic to them (like being on the less bright side or all being old leaves) then I think it's just sacrificing some leaves as it adjusts to that location. Definitely not an easy palm to keep happy indoors at new york latitude

Thanks for these suggestions! It does look like the browning is on the tips highest up (i.e. most exposed to the heat pump), and even on some very new fronds. So I will move it and see if that makes a difference.

And yes to mites. Actually I discovered it was covered in red palm mites. I have been treating it for months and seem to have finally got rid of them...
