New Plant Owner, Seeing Issues

Hey guys, New bamboo Palm owner here. This is the first time I am really trying to keep this plant alive and well. Noticed these black tips and wilted leaves a couple days into this plant arriving. Leaves started out soft and dark then turned more crispy as days passed. Unaware if the issue is mites, over/under watering, sunlight issues, or something else. Any information would be incredibly helpful, thank you.

For reference I water the palm about once every 1.5-2 weeks, about 2.5 cups. It’s about 5 feet from a window getting indirect sunlight. I know it’s far but the shades I have reflect the light against the tree. My pot is not self draining.
5ft to light, indirect
11” pot without drainage

Take my advice with a grain of salt as I don't have any palms πŸ˜‚ but this happens to my peace lily when there isn't enough humidity. When you water are you checking the soil? It's good to let it dry out some in between, but you don't want long stints with completely dry soil.
@CactusAdjacent I made sure the top soil and some was dry before I watered, don’t know about the humidity though.
