Lack of light is one of the most common causes of yellow leaves on the hemp palm. This type of palm needs a lot of light so that the leaves retain their typical rich green colour.
Make sure the hemp palm gets at least two to three hours of direct sunlight. Put them in the flower window or even better outside.
Since hemp palms are hardy from four to five years, you can grow them outdoors all year round.
