Deficiency of Magnesium
There is probably a deficiency of Magnesium (mobile). Magnesium deficiency of monocots and cycads usually appears as broad yellow bands along the margins of the oldest leaves with a green midrib or rachis. Later leaf blades or leaflets become completely yellow with tip necrosis. Magnesium deficiency is quite common on some species of palms in Florida. Podocarpus nagi will have a yellow band across older leaves.
