| When my date palm did that, it was a mineral/vitamin deficiency. Usually its a lack of magnesium which is ez to solve - 2-4 tablespoons of epson's salts plus I bought a time-release palm fertilizer that has mirconutients; and flower fertilzers do as well. Just look at the back panel and if it has this real long list, its the right stuff. I treated my palm several times over the course of 2 months and the new palms and some old ones fully recovered. |

| Serj, my filifera normally does something similar at this time of year. It seems to be a combination of the colder temps and wet, the leaf will not recover but if you can keep it dry and well ventilated it should be ok. |
