QuestionI have recently purchased a 7 foot tall potted chinese fan palm tree. I am noticing that the lower frond tips are beginning to turn yellow. I do not see any insects, I have it in a sunny area and I re-planted it in a larger container and thoroughly watered it once in the 3 weeks I have owned it. I have owned another although different palm tree in the past and once it started turning yellow it eventually died.
can you help?
thanks very much
AnswerDear Amy...I don't know a bunch about palm trees but only watering once in 3 weeks would cause yellow leaves. At minimum I would water at least once a week. You don't say where you are from, in FL I would water every day in a pot. I had our chinese fam palms planted where it was almost wet lands.
