I have been growing a dwarf betel nut palm in Gainesville Fl since early March this year It has been been growing well and is pushing a new spear out, but over the last couple of days one of the lower fronds has turned yellow.  I was trying to figure out whether this was within the range of normal of behavior for this palm or if I should be concerned for nutritional deficiencies or even lethal yellowing. I know that coconut palms most often get lethal yellowing, however, there are lethal yellowing equivalents in arecha catechu (I think).  What do you all think? Picture attached below.

Looks like normal palm behavior to me, as long as it’s not on the newest growth, I wouldn’t worry.

I would agree as this currently looks normal. I have several and this is exactly what occurs with mine.
