Hi all.

I’ve struggled with this fern for over a year. It always ends up with burnt tips or drying leaves. Any suggestions?

It gets watered once a week now in the winter and more often in the summer. It is close to the window but not in direct light. It is actually doing much better in the winter than in the summer. I’m in Toronto, Canada.

This one is not a fern, friend. I may be wrong, but I believe you have a majesty palm!

Yes, I think you are right! Thank you.
