Hey all,
I know some of you have been helping me with my recent post about "palm stress" that's still fresh on the board, but I thought I'd throw out a new one on the same subject so everyone migth get a look at it. The reason why is now I am seeing some dark brown or black spots on my wilted fronds as they are beginning to develop this yellow hue. I hadn't thrown this out in the previous post as they have just recently appeared. (at least to my knowledge) I hoped this would be an obvious tell tale sign to someone of a problem that I can try to alleviate. I don't know what they are from or what caused them. Can anyone help me???

Can you post a picture? It could be many things such as fungus or a nutrient deficiency.

Will post one Sunday. Would have when I posted this but didn't have my camera.
THanks

Here are some pics of the spots. They are only on 3 of the fronds or so, but wondered if this was a symptom of a particular problem I could try and treat. My palms are continuing to yellow on the lower fronds and feel sort of crispy now.

I think it might be leaf spot. Its caused by a fungus. The best way to lessen it is to keep the leaves dry and only water from the bottom. Also it could be pottasium deficency is you would need a fertilizer that is high in potassium.

Good luck.
