I think we have a lady palm in our office. The leaves are browning on the end, and on the stalks there are little brownish bumps. What do we do?

January 16, 2015Q.My ladyfinger palm is yellowing
She came to live me 10 days ago. My brother in law gave her to me. She was outside at his house in a pot in shade. He said to repot her into a bigger pot, which I did, she is inside now. The room is very bright, south and west windows, she does not receive direct sun. Seems to be losing pigment. After transplanting I watered her with a mild solution of Miracle Grow. Could she just be in shock from the changes, or does she need direct sun?

Certified ExpertA.It is likely shock. Repotting is hard on plants. This article will help:

93721Q.Lady Palm tree leaves are looking dry
Two weeks ago I had trimmed the leaves to help keep them fresh and I gave the tree some plant food as well. Since then, the tree leaves are starting to wilt (not all of them) and they are very brittle. Could it have been something I did or could the office temperature (74-75 degrees) be too cold for the plant to be in? Thanks, jessie

May 20, 2016A.The tree is on a wick system and has a water reservoir that I was instructed to put water in. It is under one skylight and I actually have 2 of the same trees in the office. This one is the only one that is not doing so well.

May 19, 2016A.I'm sorry your Lady Palm leaves are wilting! There's a chance it's not handling the fertilizer very well, because the temperature ought to be fine. If you haven't moved it to a different location (they don't handle direct sunlight well) and if you haven't changed the watering frequency, you might consider repotting it to refresh the soil and then go lighter on the fertilizer.

Certified ExpertA.It can recover. Just make sure to never use neem oil in bright, or direct light. This will cause the burning that you are describing. You may cut off the tips, and dead growth. This link will give you different ways of pest and fungal control that will be a little less harmful to the plant: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/organic/

May 21, 2022Q.Why Are My Lady Palm’s Leaves Tips Turning Black
I have tried multiple troubleshooting methods such as adjusting watering frequency (once a week, whenever the soil is dry), have tried filtered water to ensure that it's not chlorine or flouride which is causing this. The plant is placed away from direct sunlight in well-lit place in a big enough pot. I have got the plant almost 2 months back and in last 15 days I am seeing this problem.

Certified ExpertA.It could be the humidity is too low. Try setting the palm on a tray of pebbles and keeping the tray full of water. The pot should sit high enough that it can't reabsorb the water.
