Hi Theresa,

So glad you like my website!

It is normal for a few fronds at the bottom of a Bamboo Palm to turn yellow. If fronds throughout the plant are yellowing it is probably too much water or the quality of your water. Allow the top 1/3 of the soil of a Bamboo palm to dry out before watering.  These plants like barely moist but never soggy soil. Never allow a Bamboo Palm to sit in the excess water that drains from the pot. Do not use water that has passed through a softener because the high salt content damages the leaves. Leaf tips look pale in color and green leaves fall off an over-watered Bamboo Palm. New growth and leaf tips turn brown when a bamboo palm is under-watered. The confusing thing is that yellow leaves can develop when the plant is over or under- watered, so you need to check the soil as far down as you can to know what the exact problem is.
