# I really need help with this palm. I’m not sure why the leaves are…

_Gepostet von Lauren am 2025-03-17_

I really need help with this palm. I’m not sure why the leaves are doing this. Its leaves are getting crispy. I thought it was only the bottom leaves at first, but now some of the top ones are getting that way as well. Any suggestions on what to do?

My Parlour palm has been doing the same thing. For me it helped to mist it more often and place it next to humidifier 🌱 I ended up cutting off all the old dry branches and leaves and with extra humidity new ones started to sprout very quickly ✨🌱 hope that helps

Great! I will start doing this.

Thank you for your help!

Palms are supposed to be easy care plants 🪴 but I learned they can be quite dramatic at times 😂 so don’t be afraid to snip old or dry bits

#### Lauren antwortete am 2025-03-17

Exactly lol. I will definitely go trim those bits :)

It is said parlor palms are easy going but I find mine to be a bit temperamental. They don't want to be dry but they really don't like to be overwatered. They're sensitive to over-watering so make sure your pot has drainage or that you drain the cover pot when you water it. They are light feeders so a diluted fertilizer twice during the growing season would be plenty. Also, I agree that a humidifier would probably help. They do grow in tropical climates.

My pot does have drainage, but it only has one hole in the bottom of the pot (like most of my plants do). I do have a humidifier, but don’t run it all the time. I will try to run it more and see if that solves the problem :)

I've found that my palm is a bit more ok with drying out than some of my other plants, but shortly after I got it I did almost kill it by letting it dry out too much, so of course there's a fine line. A better draining soil might help. More humidity may help too. Idk if you've checked for pests but that would be a good idea if you havent.

#### Lauren antwortete am 2025-03-17

Thank you for the advice! I will try to turn up the humidifier :)
