Default Pony Tail Palm ( Beaucarnea recurvata) leaves turning brown

"Cereoid+10" wrote in message .com...
Its normal for the outermost leaves to turn brown at the end of the growing
season. You may want to remove them if you find them unsightly.


Well, at first just the tips of a leave would turn brown but gradually
the whole leaves starts turning brown. I mean, there are (at the
moment) just a few leaves which turn brown.

Water the plant thoroughly once a week and allow it to go completely dry
between waterings.
Remove the moss and replace it with stones otherwise the excessive moisture
may cause the trunk to rot.


Thanks for the advice ... I will do that.
