The Hawaii palm has its main growing season in winter. In summer, she tends to throw off her leaves. These often turn yellow and then simply fall off. This is a natural process and not a cause for alarm.
In the summer, the Hawaiian Palm likes a place outdoors. However, she does not tolerate too much sun and heat. Yellow leaves in this case can be an indication that the location is poorly selected. Place the pot in a partially shaded position so that the Hawaiian palm tree does not receive direct sunlight.
Spider infestation, for example, by spider mites occurs especially in winter, when the room temperatures are too high or the humidity is too low.
Just tear yellow leaves off
You can just take off yellow leaves. Mostly they can be easily removed. This leaves a whitish milk juice, which is not poisonous. The juice ensures that the wound closes faster at the break-off point.
You should remove yellow leaves calmly, as this creates space for the formation of new leaves.
Tips
The most common care mistake with Hawaii palm trees is too much moisture in the substrate. Water a Hawaii palm only moderately and avoid waterlogging. If there is too much moisture, the houseplant suffers from a soft trunk.
