Want to help a little?
Heres a chance:
My plant seems to be dying.
Its a little palm tree.
I nurish it and have changed the soil twice in one year I think.
Where has the greeness gone?
I'm no expert on plants .
I tend to forget them so they dry out & start wilting then I see that they need a drink.Sad

That seems to work for most of my house plants.CoolWink

I would imagine that if it is a proper palm tree it probably likes sandy soil , warmth, plenty of daylight & possibly doesn't like being fed..I once killed a peace plant by feeding it.Sad

Correct. Well-drained soil is important.  Overwatering is the number one cause of dead palm-type plants, or so I believe. If the tips turn brown first, the roots are waterlogged. Many people see the brown and think the plant needs more water.

You could try pushing a finger into the soil. If it comes up damp or soggy, the plant could be overwatered. Palms don't seem to like a lot of water. Sometimes too, ants get in and build a nest in the roots and that can kill them.
Is it indoors? sometimes palms get killed by colder winters, species dependent.
Thanx you for all the good advices.
I thought the brown leafs where a sign of dehydration,but now I know better.Cool
I will try to chanche the soil as it is soaked with water.
It stayes indoors in the "window-square".(lack of a better word)
