Every fan palm gets a few yellow or brown leaves once. This is quite normal and does not indicate poor care or incorrect location. However, if many fronds turn yellow, you should investigate the causes.
Too much moisture can be the reason for yellow leaves on the fan palm
Causes of yellow fan palm leaves
- Location too dark
- too much / too little moisture
- nutrient deficiency
- pest infestation
Fan palms need sufficient light all year round. Place the palm tree as close to a window as possible. If the air is very warm, add water bowls to increase the humidity.
If the fan palm has not been repotted for a long time, you should put it in fresh substrate after the appearance of many yellow leaves. Make sure that the soil is permeable to water so that there is no waterlogging and the palm can also absorb the nutrients.
tips
Yellow or brown leaves are particularly common in winter when the fan palm does not get enough light. If necessary, provide more brightness with plant lamps.
