There is not necessarily cause for concern when a few leaves of the fan palm become brown
When the fan palm gets brown leaves
If the leaves of a fan palm become brown or yellow, various causes can be responsible. If only a few fronds brown, that is not tragic. Only if the palm gets many brown leaves, you should search for the causes.
Causes for fan palm brown leaves
Fan palms should never completely dry out, but they also do not tolerate waterlogging. Water the palm regularly, but do not leave water in the saucer or planter.
If the roots in the pot have hardly any space, the leaves can no longer be properly cared for. They will turn brown and dry up. Throw the fan palm into fresh substrate.
Tips
If you cut off brown fan palm leaves, fall is the best time for it.Cut the fronds directly on the trunk so that the stalk remains do not provide a breeding ground for pests.
