Brahea Edulis leaves going crispy and dry

[Imhotep1989]

Hi, 

I was wondering if anybody here knows why my brahea edulis leaves are going crispy and dry, and turning a poorer green colour. 

Only had bought them around 3 months ago and was keeping them in the house in a window sill (not the brightest spot which I'm wondering if it may have caused issues) until the frosty nights had passed. 

One is ok, the other has the aforementioned issues. The other one looks like it may be going the same way now though. The spears seem fine. I have many other palms and not had any issue like this. Wondering if anybody had the same issue and had a solution. I have planted the better one in the ground now and the bad one waiting.

Thanks for any advice

I think your palms are too big for their pots.  Also, as you noted, your palms have not been getting that much light.  B. edulis thrives in full Spanish or California sunshine.  A nursery will keep plants that are too big for their pots looking ok by watering and feeding them expertly.  This leaves little margin for inattention by a purchaser.

I would put the weaker one in the ground as soon as possible.
