brown tips
GR-8112Cause
Browning leaf tips in palms often target oldest (lowest) leaves first when underwatered, or uniform tips when humidity is <40%.
Solutions
- Increase watering frequency to maintain evenly moist soil, but ensure drainage.
- Flush salts: Run pot under lukewarm shower for 2-3 minutes to dissolve mineral buildup from hard water.
- Increase ambient humidity to 50-60% using a pebble tray or humidifier.
Prevention
Avoid rigid schedules; use the 'finger test' to check moisture daily.
