    Hi. The leaf tips of our palm tree are turning brown. See pictures. Is it lack of fertilizer or a watering problem? We water it only when the soil is dry (we use a moist meter). Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Felipe.

    looks like it could be a humidity problem....dry heat does this to palms.....ensure adequate water, fertilize with palm fertilizer (with good palm micronutrients), and it should be fine. Mine are like that after a run of hot, dry heat with no moisture in the forecast.
    good luck
