Default coconut palm care

"matt" wrote in message
news
I recently purchased a coconut palm tree and i'm keeping it
inside.
The care card that came w/ it is a bit worn so i can't see how
to
take care of it. I've been reading online about how much to
water
it, and it appears that you don't water it a whole lot. I
believe
i have overwatered it because the soil was very wet for a
while,
like it wasn't drinking the water. Since then i've stopped
watering it and let the soil dry out a bit. However, the leaves
have started to turn brown. Is there anything i can do to save
it?
I placed it in the warmest room in my apartment far from a
large
window, so it gets the light from it, but not the cold. i also
read that they like nutrients once a month. Is this a bad idea
while i try to recover my palm?
Thanks!
