My foxtail seems to quickly be browning at the tips suddenly. Do you think it’s okay? Anything I can do? We’ll see how it fairs tonight, but the coldest it saw this winter was possibly 35 and the sprinkler ran on it to prevent frost. I never saw any frost in the neighborhood anyways. 
 

thoughts? Thanks!

Looks good to me. Keep it on the drier side if it’s cold. Some brown tips from dry cold air seem normal of palm if it’s marginal. Looks pretty healthy to me.

Brownspotting of leaflets that have gotten wet when cold is not unusual on Woodyetia. You may have made it worse than it might have been by leaving the sprinkler on it.

Ugh! Ok, thanks. Considering it produced two new fronds in winter, hoping summer will cast those brown leaflets aside :)

I always keep my sprinklers off if it is supposed to be below about 60F. Does more harm than good (for the grass too!) in my experience. I always pray my neighbors sprinklers don’t decide to come on on nights when it is predicted to be below 32F. There is no way I could replicate what farmers do to protect crops in freezes with my sprinkler system so better to keep it all dry as possible.

I would fertilize it when it starts warming up, since sometimes they seem to develop some sort of nutrient deficiency after cool weather then look like crap. Just from what I have seen with palms in other posts from the past. It looks great though!

I fertilized last week not thinking it would be cold this weekend ugh. Hopefully this was winter’s last stand! We had high 80s past couple weeks.
