Zombia antillarum - Black Tips

[slewisfl]

Planted these Zombie Palms almost a year ago.  Over the last several weeks we have noticed black tips developing on each palm.  We recently discovered we have a pool leak adjacent to the plants. The receive full sun and are planted in South Florida - Miami.  New to gardening - not really sure how to resolve.  Appreciate any advice.  Thank you.

Welocome to the forum . That is fairly normal looking for the older fronds to discolor and start to burn as new fronds are developing. As long as the new emerging growth is good., leave them until they are totally brown before trimming. A palm tends to only support the fronds as their environment will allow , in warmer months the demands for moisture and nutrients increase . I don’t have that variety so my answer is generic for most palms . As far as fertilizing , there are only a few out of many of my palms that get organic fertilizer , the rest are ok on their own. My climate is arid during the day with cool nights so my palms need watering frequently and top soil amendments every 3-4 months and wood chips for topping to hold moisture. That is pretty much it for growing palms, at least around here in Southern California. Harry

Thank you for all the info.  These are my only Zombies and I hadn't see that in the yard before and I was a little worried.  I'll keep my eye on them.  Thank you again.
