Brown leaves on the hemp palm after the winter
The hemp palm is hardy, but it tolerates minus temperatures only to a certain degree. It should therefore be protected in the fall with suitable materials from too much frost and moisture. If it shows brown leaves after winter, it indicates frost damage.
Brown leaves after the winter
If the hemp palm shows brown leaves after the winter, it was probably very cold. The leaves are then simply frozen. Sometimes too much moisture causes brown leaves during the winter.
Can the fan palm still be saved?
If only the leaves have turned brown, but the palm heart is not affected, simply cut off the brown leaves.
If the heart is frozen too, unfortunately, the hemp palm can no longer be saved.
Tips
If you hibernate the hemp palm outdoors, make sure that the heart is protected not only from frost but also from too much moisture. Lay garden fleece, burlap or coconut mats around it.
