# Hi my areca palm appears to have brown ends of leaves and the leaves…

_Posted by Katie on 2024-02-04_

Hi my areca palm appears to have brown ends of leaves and the leaves going curly. It was next to our radiator which we ended up moving about 2 weeks ago as we noticed the leaves started to curl. However the leaves have started to go brown now. I have been watering regularly and allowing the plant to drain but does anyone have any suggestions on how to rescue it. Thanks!

Also, do you have a humidifier? Palms love humidity and with heating for the winter the house can become more dry than usual!
