I have a kentia palm growing in a pot outside, which has spots on it's leaves..?

I live in South Australia, and the palm is in a sheltered position just outside the back door. It has what looks very much like black mold on the surface of the leaves. When I touch it, it feels oily and sticky.


Can anyone tell me what it might be, and give me some simple remedies? I'd prefer not to use anything toxic.

Take 15 tomatoe leaves (borrow from a neighbor/garden) and 2 small onions. Dice them up real small and steep them in 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol over night. Paint it on the leaves with a sponge like paint brush, both sides. It will remove the black spot mold and help to prevent it from returning.


Make sure your palm gets atleast 2 hours of sunlight every day. It requires it in order to remain healthy.
Reply:Good luck. It worked for mine. It also works really good for roses, only I cheat on that and pour it into a spray bottle and just douse the devil right out of them. So far, so good! Report It
