Areas on the leaves are turning black on my Kentia Paradise Palm houseplant. Can you suggest what may be wrong with it? This is a direct link to a photo hosted on Photobucket:

Thank you.

This is bacterial blight. This is contagious, so if the plant is near other palms, isolate it. Remove the infected leaves and dispose of them where they won't re-infect anything. Spray the plant with a copper solution. Get it at your garden center, Follow label instructions.

Looks like a watering issue. Be sure you water it as the plant needs, and that it's roots are not sitting in water and rotting.
