There could be a number of reasons why the leaves are turning brown. Try looking up that species caring needs to see what it needs to grow well.http://mygarden.rhs.org.uk/forums/thread/92503.aspxFri, 03 Feb 2012 11:18:14 GMT067b4958-8d6e-4ae0-88b5-4af491fdf8f2:92503novice0http://mygarden.rhs.org.uk/forums/thread/92503.aspxhttp://mygarden.rhs.org.uk/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=230&PostID=92503<p>Hi, <br /></p><p>I am a total novice and am trying to find out what&#39;s wrong with this palm and what we can do to make it better. We don&#39;t even know what kind it is either. Please can someone help? We have 3 of them and they all look pretty much like this straggly with lots of brown bits.</p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Lindesay <br /></p>
