So this has started happening to the second newest frond about a week ago, and it’s only happening on this frond, the new spear looks fine.IMG_5768.thumb.jpeg.bd55a0d8e752b899fafb28b67d6a2801.jpegIMG_5767.thumb.jpeg.678efa4bfc9461598e59c91fdda014ae.jpeg

If the new spear looks fine, this doesn't seem like anything to worry about. 

Was it like that before you moved it outside this year? Looks like the lightest touch of sunburn or needs slightly more water, but otherwise looks fine. but then again, the pictures only show a fraction of one leaf so it's hard to guess looking just at one leaf tip

    Thanks! It wasn’t like this before I moved it outside, guess I didn’t do enou sun acclimation for it. These are actually both of the leaf tips, but I guess the pictures look too similar to distinguish them. I don’t think it could be a water problem because Inhave gotten a lot of rain the past couple weeks from thunderstorms.
