I have had my palm tree house plant for a little more than a year. I don't know what kind it is. Last summer, I transplanted it to a bigger pot and left it outside to get some rain. It ended up raining so much that it was too heavy for me to bring back inside until about October. It did very well last year and throughout the winter. Now, however, many of the fronds have turned brown and no new ones have opened up in several months. I water it only when it is very dry, just I like I did all winter long. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to fertilize it? I haven't done that so far. Does it need to go back outside? It's really heavy and I would prefer to avoid moving it again if I can as I have no one to help me. Also, do I need to trim off the brown fronds or leave them to fall?

The change in light and location is making it turn brown even though it hasn't been moved in 6 months?

I don't have a digital camera or scanner to send you a picture, but based on pictures I've looked at on the internet, I would say that it is either a Areca palm or a Cataractarum palm. Does this sound accurate?

Well, now they all look the same to me. It was a gift from a friend, but I know where it came from, so the next time I go there, I'll look and see if I can find one that is labeled. Thanks for your help!
