# Any help or advice would be appreciated!!! Any ideas what could be…

_Posted by Sarah on 2024-05-11_

Any help or advice would be appreciated!!! Any ideas what could be causing my majesty “cat” palms leaves to brown. I’ve had it for about two months. I water it and clean all the leaves, I turn him regularly so all sides get sun. When I got it there were roots coming out of the bottom of the nursery pot so I upsized. I fertilized it about a month after getting it home. I am new to the houseplant thing.

They can be really finicky sometimes with the type of water you use

#### Sarah replied on 2024-05-11

What type of water should I use

#### Plant Intern 🤓 replied on 2024-05-11

Too be honest depends on your area sometimes they hate tap water. Distilled, filtered or rain water is a better choice.

How much light does it get ?  
Bright sunlight or indirect light?

#### Sarah replied on 2024-05-11

Should I leave the brown leaves or cut them out

#### Plant Intern 🤓 replied on 2024-05-11

Yeah you can just the brown parts you can also cut the whole leaf down let a new one grow in too!😊

#### Plant Intern 🤓 replied on 2024-05-11

After a double take I’d cut the whole leaf 😅

#### Sarah replied on 2024-05-11

Would I cut it at the base of the tree?

### Sarah commented on 2024-05-11

Lots and lots of indirect sunlight.
