Hello everybody! I'm new here and I would like to know if somebody can help me to identify my palm. Could be a Howea (kentia), Areca, Ravenea, Chamaedorea, etc.? It's sick now, I'm treating it, because the end of its leaves has become drying and brown, and I've cut them up. I think the problem was overwatering. I'm leaving dry the soil. Who has had the same problems? and what can I do for helping her? I already put stones in the saucer with some water. It will help to keep it humid. Also I'm misting the leaves and the soil. I moved it close to the window, withouth direct sunligth.The soil seems drying, but I think still wet at the bottom, because the pot is heavy when I lift it. Should I change the soil? I don't know what more do. I trimmed the end of the leaves but the browning on them continue. I'd like to know what kind of palm it is. It will helping me to give it better cares. I took some pictures, the last one was taken today. Thanks a lot.
Thanks. At least you've taken the time to say me your opinion about what kind is. I really appreciate it. I thought here I could find the solution for my problem, but I'll stay waiting. I hope somebody else can help me. Thanks again.
Maybe a silly question but has it been outside in the wind (what windy in Chicago?? lol) or inside with heater or air conditioner, looks to me like windburn maybe?? Ed
