One Stem Of My Areca Palm Dying, Any Suggestions????

I have an areca palm and one stem is brown and dying;from the base up. I don’t want to lose the whole thing. I’m new at this. Can I cut that whole part off? Should I fertilize? Please help! Thank you!

Cut off the dead stem. If you missed the spring feeding, go ahead and fertilize. Make sure you are not overwatering the plant. Examine the rest of the stems for insects. Mealybugs, scale, and mites are common pests.

Here is care information:
