Bought this 2 gal queen palm a month ago and since then kept in pot outside. I live in zone 8b. The top part of fond has turned brown and crispy. Some leaves on top side are half green half yellowish. New spears coming out are nice have no issue. Can anyone advise what’s going on. Also I am new to palm so I don’t know how much water should I give it, but I atleast water twice a week if no rain.

I’m making this to keep track and share my experience growing this coconut palm here in North Carolina. I have grown Cocos here in the past and have been a bit lazy on overwintering them but this time I plan on going all out with it later on when winter sets in. But until then i will post updates on the spring/summer growth of this palm. Wish me luck!

So glad to have found this forum today. I have a 17 year old majesty palm that looks terrible but is very sentimental. It got sunburnt in the car while moving across the country about a year ago, but continues to produce new fonds and plenty of seed pods. I staked it with wooden dowels before the trip. Now that I know it has survived, I’m ready to repot. But the trunk is so thin, and I’d like to plant it deeper in a bigger pot. How high up the exposed trunk can I go? Can I plant it deep enough to cover the skinny green section? Go a little deeper and cover the slightly wider brown segment? Or go all the way and burry it to the base of the plant? I’m afraid of ma…

Hello everyone. I recently purchased three majesty palms and I have them in pots on my patio. We are in Tampa, Florida (zone 9b) and these palms are going to near lots of direct sunlight. The pots have one hole about 1.5 inches in diameter in the bottom of them for drainage. The soil I used was Miracle Grow, Cactus, Palm and Citrus soil. After only having them a little over a week, you can see they are turning very brown. I presume this means they need more water. I've been watering them every other day, just when I notice that the top inch of soil is dry. If these aren't the best for being in pots in a patio in direct hot sun, can someone recommend an…

The landscapers in our "maintainance free" townhome, sprayed for weeds in the flowerbeds and it got on my European Fan Palm because of the breezer. Several fronds, including the stems, have turned brown. I recognize the damage from other plants that were inadvertently sprayed. Should I trim the brown/dead stems at the trunk? Will the plant be OK? I would say that no more than a quarter of the 4 foot high plant was affected. Any hopes that the plant will survive. I have discussed this problem of spraying weeds inches away from thriving plants. .

new fronds cut short?
by 5am- 4 replies
- 342 views
A few of my smallest potted palms have pushed out new fronds which appear to be cut very short. Nothing larger has been affected. Is it a pest? There has been some animal destroying my aloes and cactus. Also, I do have 2 S. causiarum with a severe white scale infection, but I haven't seen bugs on anything else. Is it cold damage? There were 2 nights below freezing in mid Jan. Should I toss them or just watch and wait?

Help! What is wrong with my potted palm?
by Kayval- 5 replies
- 838 views
I love my palm! I’ve had it about 8 years and was always healthy. i moved house last July, but it remained in good condition. From January, it has started to lose its deep green colour. The leaves are turning a pale, faded green, even slightly yellow. The tips are brown and some leaves are even crispy. It’s usually pretty bushy.. but I’ve had to cut all the dried branches away and it’s starting to thin out. I dont think I’m over watering, I wait until it’s dried mostly until I water again which I’ve always done. its not in the sunniest of spots as I live in a terraced house so in the winter the house is quite dark so I have been moving it close to a wi…

Hey everyone, I have a ton of 1-3 gallon sabal palmettos in my house and my wife and I are getting a little antsy to put them outside. Our extended forecast calls for mid 40s-50s during the day and low to mid 30s Fahrenheit during the night. Just wondering if these will mind coming in and out of frosts for the next couple of weeks. I know I can wait but am just curious. Also probably joining IPS soon so I can sell some, there’s so many…

Spear Pull on My C. Humilis
by Ivan604- 1 follower

- 478 views
So about 2 weeks ago I repotted my C. Humilis to a bigger pot since there was a lotta rots coming outta the bottom. All was fine until I tugged on the spears of the main trunk and the two newest fronds came out. There was a third front that was open which was fine. The 3 other suckers were fine, no pull on any of their crowns. I'm not too sure what went wrong, possibly the stress of being repotted and it took awhile for it to show symptoms? I did a few spear tugs to see if it was stressed and no problem until now. I poured hydrogen peroxide 3% into the crown and pulled the gunk out, not much came out. I watered it when it was repotted and I have a small space heater that …
