Fungus on Palm Plant?

mnewson
10 years ago

Hi,

I have a palm plant that has had brown fronds for as long as I've had it. I re-potted it, and loosened up its root system, hoping that the brown fronds were due to strangulation.

This hasn't improved, but there is also now a lumpy, powdery fungus on the back of one of the stems.

Can anyone tell me why the palm (which is essentially green at the base of the stems) grows into brown fronds?

Also, what this fungus/mold is, and how I can help the plant get rid of it?

Thank you!
