Parlor Palm care

Parlor Palm yellow leaves

One oldest lower frond fading can be normal. Several yellow fronds or a declining new spear require checking roots and leaf undersides.

Read moisture and pest traces

Water a dry root ball evenly and drain. Empty runoff from a wet pot, then allow the upper layer to dry before watering again. Inspect roots if wilt continues.

Fine speckling or webbing calls for a mite check. Keep partly green fronds; cut fully dead fronds near their attachment without damaging the stem’s growing point. Low light can slow both growth and water use.
