First two shots show my engleri. Note the entirely white backside of a leaf which is fully exposed to western sun!

Next two shots show the newest leaf of my micrantha. It has already reached the power line! Some problem I fear...

I frankly do not know for sure, whether the actual cause for the so called 'scorching' signs mentioned above is the sun intensity or other cultivational mistakes. My Arenga engleri remains also during summer very green (and I have a ve....ry scorching sun, believe me!), so long I water it plentifully and use a proper fertilizer in proper quantities (slow releaser for 6 months). As for some (half)dry leaves of mine in the above pictures, I think it is just natural decline of fruiting stems. Arenga micrantha is definitely more sensitive to scorching sun!
