Will this lift back up?

@PristineRedlog Yes it will lift back up but only if you give it what it's looking for. I'm not sure what its current care is so I'll let you know what it needs and you can adjust as necessary. 😁 If it is in a pot without drainage like its info tag says make sure you replant it into a pot with drainage holes then put it in a sunny spot. It likes A LOT of sunshine. The goal is to mimic its natural habitat. In nature it goes a long time without rain so make sure you're letting its soil dry out in between waterings. The palm's trunk is a Caudex that stores water. Over watering can lead to the Caudex becoming soft and eventually rotting. You should see a change rather quickly once you introduce brighter light.
Is the white pot the outer pot? If so I would take it out of there (ie, drainage holes exposed) so you can evaluate better what’s going on. It looks like it needs water. PP’s store water in their trunk so you should be cautious not to overwater. Stick your finger in the soil a couple of inches and it comes out clean, it needs be watered. Also make sure the trunk doesn’t feel soggy as well. Good luck 💚I recently got one of these myself and so far, so good!
It truly looks like it needs some water right now and it will almost automatically perk right back up! But just like it was mentioned already it needs to have good draining soil and holes in the pot as well because it’s a drought tolerant plant. Mine I have by a window were it gets no direct sunlight but indirect sunlight for the majority of the day and it does amazing. Good luck with yours!
