I have had this palm for about 2 months. I waster it at least once every 10 days. All the leaves are going like this, seems like it's just dying... Please help.

Welcome!

How wet/dry is the soil? Kentia palms like to be always moist but not water-logged.

When you do water, do you drench it or just give it a bit of water. Without any more info, I am going to guess under watering. Yes, they hate saturated conditions, but also not the most drought tolerant in my experience.

I asked my partner, I thought she was watering them every 10 days. She said every 12 and giving about 500mL of water.

Hmmm... Water when the soil starts to dry until water comes out the bottom of the pot. Water the entire soil surface so there won't be dry spots. You want the soil to be saturated. Wait until the soil feels dry to touch and water. That could be 1 week or 2, depending upon environment, pot size, soil, light....

Thank you! I will give this a go.
