@HealthfulViolet I have a few palm but an Alexandra Palm is not one of them! To prevent crispy fronds on an Alexandra palm, you need to provide consistent moisture and high humidity, avoid direct sun and cold drafts, and ensure the soil is well-draining. Crispy, brown leaf tips are a common symptom of underwatering, low humidity, or chemical burn from tap water. Causes can be varied, Crispy fronds on an Alexandra palm can be caused by underwatering, low humidity, excessive sun exposure, and nutrient deficiencies. To accurately diagnose the issue, you'll need to observe the palm's environment and watering habits. They are tropical palm needing high humidity, consistent moist soil but not soggy, are you making sure that the top few inches are dry. before watering again? If the soil is too wet it will lead to root rot the soil becomes compacted and the roots can’t take up any nutrients leading to crispy fronds.
