My umbrella plants do this as well, whether inside or outside. They add more plants from the root section and the tips often yellow off. I think that is normal for them.

Do you know that if you bend some of those long stems over and leave the top in water that they will root and start a new plant for you to give your friends? Neat plant, eh?

Thanks Jroot! I guess the thing is doing alright then, or as good as it can under the circumstances. I didn't know they were so easy to clone, but I think I'll try it now.

Are you fertilizing it? While it gets some nutrients from the fish, I add PondTabs to all my water plants once a month. My umbrella palms grown in ponds reach about 7 feet.

I haven't been fertilizing it. It would probably like that. I don't expect it to become fabulous as it IS indoors, but perhaps it can do better.

Is it OK in a solid plastic nursery pot with just a few drainage holes on the bottom? Or would it be better put into something with a little more water movement like an aquatic pot? I think it's in regular potting soil.

I'm new to aquatics-what are "pond tabs?" will they hurt fish or frogs? My umbrella palms are suddenly looking yellow-stems and leaves-are they okay?
