# Pony tail palm brown/tan at the stub part. Does anyone know if this…

Pony tail palm brown/tan at the stub part. Does anyone know if this is normal? I’ve looked online and I haven’t found anything similar to what I’m talking about. And I don’t remember remember her being brown at the stubs before😭. Overall she’s healthy

I personally think that it might be okay!🤔 as long as it’s not affecting the plants health, and everything else is healthy it might be ok :) I’m like no help haha

It’s dead palm fronds/leaves from the first sprouting. There should be cut marks were the dead parts were cut. Not harmful.
