Baby Christmas Palm Tree browning. Help.

[gardeningforumsfan]

I planted this baby christmas palm tree 2 months ago. I bought it online from a seller in Florida and I'm in Southern California. Now it's browning and has some brown spots. Does anyone know what's going on and how to take care of the browning? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

Your palm certainly doesn't look very happy... I live in a very different climate to you, so I don't have personal experience here. That being said, the fact it has brown spots within the leaves (ie, not just on the tips/edges) makes me think it might be sun burnt (maybe before you got it it was in a shadier area?) but I have also heard of a yellowing disease that can affect palms. Hopefully someone here will know more.

I hope it isn't this
