Q.Drooping Fronds On Windmill Palms
The fronds of my windmill palms are “folding down, drying up & then breaking off. What’s happening?

This is most usually from compacted or wet soils. These palms require loose, well draining soil.
If you cannot provide this for the palm, then adding worms and mulch can help, along with watering only when the top 3 inches of soil has completely dried. A fungicide may be necessary, as well.
