Yellow or brown leaves on the Kentia Palm: causes and solutions
Is your Kentia Palm developing yellow or brown leaves? It might not look good, but it's a common problem. Fortunately, there are clear causes and practical solutions. This article explains what could be wrong and how to get your palm healthy again.
Possible causes of yellow leaves
Too much water: roots become suffocated, leaves turn yellow.
Lack of nutrition: A lack of nutrients can cause yellowing.
Natural process: old leaves turn yellow and die off.
Solution: Check watering and feed once a month in spring and summer.
Possible causes of brown leaves or tips
Dry air: especially in winter due to heating.
Too little water: leaf tips dry out and turn brown.
Direct sun: Bright sun can cause brown spots.
Solution: Spray the leaves occasionally, keep the soil slightly moist and avoid full midday sun.
When don't you have to worry?
A single yellow or brown leaf is normal. The Kentia Palm replaces old leaves with new ones. As long as the core remains healthy and new leaves appear, there's nothing to worry about.
Remove leaves or leave them?
Remove all yellow or brown leaves at the bottom of the plant.
Leave any slightly discolored leaves on: they are still photosynthesizing.
