Hi hope all is well, so I need a little help here. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to plant my Kentia palms yet because of the construction going on in my backyard. Anyways, I have 4 Kentia Palms and I’ve had them for a few weeks already. I started noticing the fronds are turning brown (reddish brown) I’m not sure why. The nursery I got them from told me they are “sun grown” I live in Los Angeles. I have them in a place where they get Morning sun. Once they are planted they will get filtered light. I am watering 2 times per week. The nursery told me they did it 3 times, however, when I did it 3 times the soil was still moist. Didn’t want to push it and get root rot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They look sunburned. Take "sungrown" with a huge rock of salt. Water when the soil surface dries out.

Yes, sunburn.  "Sun grown" is hardly ever the case at nurseries - if nothing else because they have plants packed in and giving each other some relief from the sun.

Thank you very much for the response. That’s what I thought as well. My other question is do I cut the fronds or they regain their color back once I move them to a more shaded area?

Sunburn won't "heal". Best to let fronds turn brown before cutting them

I'm having the same problem...I have amassed palms and other plants to put in an area that is taking much longer than expected to be ready for planting! Trying to keep everything protected and healthy is a challenge!
