Since we have threads relating to palm progression and regression, I thought it might be cool to have a thread about palms that declined then came back, sometimes with good care, sometimes with no care, sometimes because (?)

Here's a Ptychosperma elegans in a 25 gallon pot. Look closely and you'll see it has a crown of shortie leaves, topped by much nicer, longer ones.

Look really close and you'll see the remnant of the scale that had attacked it. Ordinarily, Lady Bugs of Doom go right in and gorge themselves, but ants in the pot chased them off. So, I poured diazinon solution in the soil and the lady bugs moved in, and the palm bounced back very dramatically.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

This Chamaerops bonsai grown up from seed in *1986 dried out in 2013 and was afterwards overwatered so that it had lost almost all its roots. At present the main stem too is recovering and producing normal leaves again.

Wow great responses!

Also, my plant is in a 15 gallon, not a 25 gallon.

Very tall 30 years old Chamaedorea elegans pushing first new leaf half a year after a severe February nights freeze (down to -15°C) when the palm lost all its fronds; a taller 40 years old palm didn’t survive because the protection wasn’t high enough.

Caryota no in March 2013 while still in a pot in my Carlsbad backyard.  It probably wasn't getting sufficient water, and maybe was adjusting to my yard, after it's first winter after purchasing it.  The same Caryota no in January 2017 after putting down roots for over a year since planting in my Leucadia yard.  It seems pretty happy!

That looks awsome tim very nice how old is that one?? Had you found it to be.slow growing??

It's been quite slow mate. I'd guess it's been in the ground 10 years from a size when it was just forming a trunk. It's one of those species that I don't mind being slow when it looks good. I think they look ideal at this size so you can appreciate the crownshaft colour.

I had a C.crinita in this spot and it died after a few years...so I replaced it with this T. radiata and it wasn't happy. So got some advice and some specifically mixed fert with macros and micros and crossed my fingers...it worked!!

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere
