palms


Question
I care for several large palm tree plants 4/5 ft.high in my local church. How often should they be watered? The leaves on several are turning brown and some of the stems are drying up - I only started caring for them a few months ago so I don't know what care they rec. before

Answer
Lydia,

It depends on what type of palms they are. You have not said how often you are watering them now. I would also like to know how much light they are getting. Brown leaves can indicate not enough light or too much water. Let me know how what the diameter of the pots is,if the pots have drain holes and drain trays under them, how often you are watering them, how much water you give them, If you leave the drain tray full of water, how close to a window they sit and what direction that window faces and I will tell you how to improve their health. I will wait for your response.
