You may be overwatering it and/or the Miracle Grow potting soil may have too much fertilizer in it. I'm not sure about the contents of the Miracle Grow potting soil but look on the bright side.... you may have watered it so much that it leached all the fertilizer out of it 
. Just kidding of course. It also may be suffering from a little shock. Try backing off on the watering a little. Lower fronds turning brown and dying is normal. When the bottom fronds turn completely brown and die, you can trim them off close to the trunk. Give it some more time, i think everything will be okay. Good luck.
