Water them?! This month may soon go down as the wettest June ever! Take a look at your local extended forecast. Locally, we had about 10 inches already for the month! Don't water, certainly while his monsoon persists. (I wonder if the leaf with the problem was not in part due to excessive moisture on the leaf bud). This past Spring was real cold, I would hold off on the early spring fertilizing next time, especially if it is cold. Feeding is fine now, but I wonder how useful it is with heavy rain forecasted. (Won't a lot of it just get leached anyway?) I am waiting and hoping for the weather to settle down and dry up. Also, from what I have read, you don't worry about your palm being planted to close to the house. (Palm roots are not invasive or destructive to property.) Good luck with them! Here is a link that might be useful: Local forecast

Some more light might be helpful, but in my experience this palm doesn't require a lot of light when in semi-dormancy. I have a good-sized one in about a 12-inch pot that goes outdoors every year, and spends winter in the basement on the floor between two three-shelf fluorescent light stands. There's not a whole lot of illumination there, but it does OK (little growth, but no frond yellowing) with less watering than it gets when in active growth. If you can't provide adequate sun for your Chinese fan palm, consider watering it only when the soil has begun to dry out and stop fertilizing for the winter.

I think the color is gorgeous! Maybe the color looks different in other parts of the country - here in Florida it is very bright all the time. Maybe you will grow to like it... Abby

@graciejack2621 - I don't have access to most of those photos right now -- they are on a portable backup drive that is buried in a box of stuff. But, here are a few that are still on this computer. ALL of the photos were taken in 2004 when the pool was being built and the ones with water in the pool were taken around 10:30 in the morning when the pool was first filled. The waterline tiles are 3"x3" so around the majority of the pool there is a double row, but there is a portion where the "wall" is higher so there are four rows. The coping is Bouquet Canyon flagstone, and the flagstone is also installed on the first step down into the waterfall cove. The second "step," which is the seat in the cove, is the Pebble Sheen. We got the tile from National Pool Tile, and I know that a year ago it was still available, but for the life of me I cannot remember the name of it. I do know that the pics of it online didn't look like the tile in person. (It's so funny to me to see these pictures now because we have an entirely different fence, and landscaping.)
