Ops, that one sentence is supposed to say 5 stalks

it could be root bound or overwatered.

Each "Stalk" is a seperate tree. So you have 5 trees in one pot fighting for water and nutrients.

I just split my one palm (Forum-Splitting my Date Palm)one of the palms is doing the samething the new leaves are wilting - Im guessing from root damage.

Seeing this with mine and reading Marc's comment my educational guess would be roots are getting choked and lacking sufficient water.

Put your PDP in a humid area in your house or spray it with water every other day. They need humid conditions and will decline if kept in dry conditions. Also make sure not to overwater. I have killed more PDP by over watering than I would like to admitt.

My sister and I just planted 2 palms in large containers and the ends of the leaves on some of them are turning brown. What is the casue and how do I correct it. The plants are approx. 3'.

Thank you in advance

Its hard to tell without a pic, or some more info on the type of palm tree, or the conditions it was in, but it sounds like it could be too dry. If the soil is dry to the touch, definitely water. If its outside it might be in too much sun so you might want to put it in more shade, at least for now. If its indoors, or if its very dry outside (air wise), then it might need some more humidity and a misting and more watering would solve that problem.
Good luck!
