How to deal with the dry tips of white palm leaves

1. Moisture problem

(1) Reason: Although it likes a humid environment, if we water it too much, resulting in excessive moisture, it will cause water accumulation. If this goes on for a long time, the tips of the leaves will dry up or turn yellow.

(2) Solution: If this is the case, we need to reduce the number of waterings and wait until the substrate is dry before watering again. In addition, do not water too much when watering, control the amount well.

2. Fertilization issues

(1) Reason: This is also a very likely reason. If too much fertilizer is applied, the plant's leaf tips are likely to dry out and its new leaves will not expand.

(2) Treatment: We can use other seeds, such as cabbage or radish seeds. Sprinkle them on the surface of the potting soil to absorb excess nutrients. However, it should be noted that they must be pulled out in time after they emerge. Otherwise, they will consume too much nutrients.

3. Environmental issues

(1) Cause: If the plant’s root system is not adapted to the surrounding environment, the leaf tips may dry up. This situation often occurs when changing flower pots or soil.

(2) Solution: If the plant has just changed its growing environment, do not change the pot or soil immediately. Especially the soil, it is best not to change it immediately.

4. Lighting issues

(1) Reason: In this case, the light is too strong, because this plant prefers a semi-shaded environment. Long-term strong light will cause leaf burns and the leaf tips may become dry.

(2) Treatment method: Place the plant on a windowsill or other place to receive scattered light and avoid strong light.
