Dypsis lutescens goes nuts

Dypsis lutescens goes nuts. This is his first sucker. I looked at that a little more closely. I found in there six new leaves at least. I think I'll find even more leaves as they grow a little more.

Yep, nuts! It looks like it was trying to grow up from under a brick.

I had an Areca do that on its first sucker, the next was fine.

My guess is that it will grow out of that alarming but interesting condition.

It is not dead, it is just senescence.

This palm has grown quite rapidly. In February 2018, I bought a small pot with 10 seedlings on it. Only 5€. I separated them and left the strongest to me. Early summer it was on my deck P. canariensis leaves sheltered from out of the direct sun. Late summer I can put he to the direct sun without any problems. It just smiled and grew. I feed it with chicken manure, seaweed and palm fertilizer from Mypalmshop. You won't find any palm fertilizer here in Finland. I like this stuff. I started using it 6 months ago. I understand that 6 months is still a short time from palm life but so far so good. My another palms like this fertilizer too.  Time will tell.

If the new spear comes out looking normal, then you can rule out Boron deficiency as the cause of the weird, distorted last frond.  I had two Arenga Engleri pots grow a couple of bizarre fronds, but they were also a bit stunted from being rootbound in pots for many years.  The next fronds came out quickly and looked great.
