    Hello,
    Last year I bought 3 palm trees from Wegmans. I tried to separate them but it was difficult so I planted them in a bigger pot. They were growing nicely but recently the new fronds that are coming are turning yellowish. Not sure why. I water them (500 ml) every other day.
    Attached are the images of the trees

    Thanks,
    Shishir

    Your plant looks OK to me. Perhaps a lack of nitrogen...

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, It seems ok to me. The yellowish tint on the fronds goes away after few days and green leaves come out.

    Thanks again.

    If it's been in the same pot for a year, you may just need a bit of fertiliser... A standard 8-8-8 for palms should be OK. Also, just make sure that it's getting plenty of sun. You'll probably be able to water it a bit more when it gets more sun, and it will need it. Third, make sure it's not pot bound again, and if it is, bump it ap and give it some good soil.
