Default Re: brown around the leaf

Thanks guys for the replies.

Seriously though, you can't see it well by the picture, but as I said it has a perimetral brown crown around the leaf. I have thought that it might be overwatering issue, because I have a kentia (palm) that gets brown at the top of the leafs when overwatered... so, that's why I asked.
Although my "method" for watering is to stick my finger in the ground, and if it is dry at the second knuckle I give them 2/3 glasses of water....so far has worked out well.

By the way, when is it the best time to begin to fertilize them? I have contacted few fertilizer supplier and they suggested me the "6-8-18 supreme" from TIMAC AGRO...do you know it? Is that good, considering that I have a Dwarf Brazilian and a Basjoo?
