Hey Kamila,

How do you go about watering your palm? Do you water sparingly in its pot or do you saturate the plant and leave it to drain?

Brown tips and leaves can come from a few issues but usually it’s water stress.

It’s either not getting enough water if the soil feels dry (then I would recommend soaking the plant and not watering again until the top couple inches of soil is dry) or overwatering if the soil still feels wet and it’s not in a well draining mix.

Is it in a spot where it gets a good amount of indirect light?

Hi Chloé! the soil feels wet as the room it stays at is quite dark and humid. It gets about one hour tops of direct sunlight and about 4-5 hours of indirect light. Do you think I should leave it until the soil feels dry? Also, I was worried that this could be fungus, what do you think? Thanks a million!

I think a fungus would be more mottled and across more of the leaf rather than just the tips, but none of mine have had a fungal issue so hopefully someone else can chip in with a bit more info. Images I’ve seen though, I personally don’t think it’s a fungus.

Do you keep the soil consistently moist or was it dry before these photos were took and is only wet from a recent watering?

9 times out of 10 brown tips come from water stress, so either under or overwatered. If the soil is still wet it sounds like an overwatering issue. Definitely let the top couple of inches of soil dry out before you water again.

Do the stems and base of the plant still seem healthy? No browning or mushiness?
