Hi Théodore! It sounds like your Mexican Fan Palm is in a bit of trouble. Don't worry, there's still hope!
First, let's address the pot. Mexican Fan Palms need excellent drainage, so you'll want to repot it into a pot with drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Next, let's talk about watering. Since the plant was dry, you can give it a good soak, but make sure the excess water drains out. From then on, water it deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Finally, let's talk about light. Mexican Fan Palms love bright, indirect light. Place it near a window that gets plenty of light, but avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day.
With a little TLC, your Mexican Fan Palm should recover and thrive!
