Hello my dear palm friends,

Can someone please tell me why these leaves are starting to get brown? Is it because of the container that is to small? Even the new shoot has those coloration.

I don't grow these palms in containers, my archontophoenix sp are in the ground. But they love water and this palm looks very dry. Water it consistently is my best suggestion.

I know but I am still working on my garden, so every day water?

Water, water, water!

The species can live happily IN WATER so you can’t over water yours. Water yours daily and even twice a day if the weather is very hot.

yes these are hard to over water, soak it on every warm day. In cool weather not necessary, maybe every 3rd day.

In winter there is a lot of rain here almost 1500 mm in 3 months so in winter they get a lot of water hahaha

They love there water, as suggested above. Your little palm has been on the dry side of life. In habitat they thrive in wet gullies creek beds, almost cool temperate conditions in dark shaded areas. They break through the canopy and take all the sun they can get, while there root system is in dark forest wet conditions. They dislike drying out.

How much proof of this palm being a "wetneck" do you need!😎

As was said , the watering is key . Also , when you get ready to plant , be careful with the root ball . The less you disturb this palm , the faster it will acclimate when it goes in the ground. Harry

Yes I watered it once in the 3 days, from now I do it every day in summer now, it can be very hot here in July and August 40+ and in winter very wet and even cold! Sometimes night temperatures at the 2 or 3 °C and during the day 13 °C

Friend Gitano, I hope you're doing well. This is urgent: switch the growing medium to a mix of 50% perlite and 50% peat moss, and water it generously in the summer. These palms absorb a lot of water; they drink it up like fish. You're a great guy.
