Check the roots for root rot when you have the chance mi amor  
if no signs then it needs either Fresh soil/repot (Which I dont think so since its been Only a month/2) or Just needs more water!

Could be over or underwatering

Off soil mixture for this palm tree, it’s showing through the new foliage. On new growth it indicated low nutrient and poor drainage.

Tough plants good luck, 7 of mine are in the grave yard

You can get ironite from Lowe’s, it’s a 12-8-10 fertilizer. Sprinkle a pinch in your new repot mix and it slow feeds through watering .

I think it was like 12 bucks

Remember you’re only supposed to so much times a year

#### Rachel replied on 2024-12-29

Low nutrient? So it needs fertilizer?

### John H. commented on 2024-12-29

I’d repot that asap, it’s starting to turn banana

It looks like it’s pushing out a new leaf. If that is the youngest league sometimes they have to die off to give the new leaf life and nutrition

#### Abbi replied on 2024-12-29

Did you mean oldest leaf, not youngest

#### Rachel replied on 2024-12-29

Yeah, this is what I thought too.

#### Lilly replied on 2024-12-30
