Hello everyone,

 

I am brand new to this site and to caring for my 2 new foxtail palms.  Can anyone please help me identify if this is a disease on the leaves or if there is a different issue that I need to take care of?

Any help is greatly appreciated.  I want to learn and I want to give these foxtails the most love and care that I can.  Can I fix this problem?  Thank you for any help and guidance you might be able to give me.

Looks like cold damage. Mine had similar spots and marks last year.

@DonnaM welcome to PalmTalk!  Foxtails are susceptible to cold damage anywhere close to freezing, especially with frost.  Anywhere in the 30s could cause some leaf spotting that's mostly cosmetic.  Into the 20s can cause severe burn or death, especially in a fairly young palm.  To me that looks like some cosmetic cold damage. 

You can't "heal" the damage but a palm-type fertilizer will help it grow out quicker.  Some good fertilizers are PalmGain and Florikan, though I tend to use cheap stuff like Sunniland 6-1-8.
