Archie trouble

[Corrosion]

Hello

I ordered some archies by mailorder, took few weeks or so. I live in cold climate so I have to overwinter my palms indoors under lamps.

When they arrived looked mostly okay maybe a bit beaten up but still green. I kept one outside when it was blown over several times by a strong wind gusts but I am sure it did not get any frost-no frost has been recorded in my garden yet. My personal opinion is that they dislike long delivery-being in a dark

box for weeks, can it be so?

Now I brought them in and one of them

looks really bad, leaves drying and so. What can I do to save it?  The pot is tiny maybe repot it into bigger one? I have been growing coconut palm for years and I cannot believe archie is dying so quickly..

Thanks for looking.

Well, hopefully there will be better experts to help you but I think its salvageable. I would only repot if the roots are poking out the bottom. Cant really tell how small the pot is from the picture.. Might want to snap a few more from different angles.. Make sure the soil is mostly dry before you treat it with half water/half hydrogen peroxide. I brought back an archie that looked kind of like this.  But that was mostly sunburn damage. Very rookie mistake I made there giving seedlings midday direct sunlight.  Do not panic...yet.

How should I treat it with Hydrogen peroxide? Usually it is being poured into the spear but in this case it is not the case I think.  I checked the other archies is turning into smth similar as the first one.

Is the 3% liquid good enough? They sell this in the pharmacies.

Thanks.

What i did with mine was mix that with an equal amount of water. It worked out pretty good and started growing again. But I would advise waiting for the soil to be mostly dry. I check my soil by sticking a finger in and feeling for moisture. If  It is dry down more that 2 1/2 in, I think then you can flood it with this mix.

I hope that is a good advice. Many people on this site who have more knowledge and experience than I. But it is what I would do.  

They say Archie's like tons of water but its different in a pot and that advice i think is kind of relative. You can still easily overwater IMO. Pot looks like it has roots coming out so it probably could upside a tad, but just a tad unless you have some special soilless mix.

Hope it goes well,
