Is my lady palm deficient?

Recommended Posts

A few months ago I planted a 15G lady palm from a nursery, since I put it in the leaves have become progressively worse. Pictures attached. Yellowing leaves, some spots and browning tips.

I was wondering what’s happening and how I could fix it. Is it a nutrient deficiency? Maybe potassium? Thanks in advance

@Palmpalm900 lady palms usually like shady and moist spots, yours could be an issue with too much sun?  They are pretty cold hardy (at least mid 20s), so I doubt it has gotten cold enough to damage one yet.  The spots could be potassium deficiency, low water, too much sun, maybe spider mites, or possibly another bug of some sort.  Check visually for any small bugs or signs of spider mite webs.  And let us know the sun exposure znd yoir watering schedule.

It gets a few hours of morning sun, I water 2x a week but it’s possible it’s not getting enough of the water. I have also noticed some scale on other plants in the yard, I’ll check the lady palm tomorrow for any signs of bugs.

Looks like it is acclimating. If it was greenhouse grown , it may need time to harden up. The sun will cause it to yellow more than a shade grown palm.
