Royal Palm Bleeding


NickJames

Recommended Posts

One of my royal palms is bleeding from where an old crown shaft base is about to come off.

The palm is otherwise extremely healthy looking and growing rapidly. 
This was planted about a year ago in a container. 

The outer fronds are slightly burned by either wind or frost. 

Is this a major problem? The drip line is wet but is clear when I rub it with my fingers. It doesn’t stain me red.

Give it a band-aid.

Nothing to say here.

My royals used to do that every morning.  I think what is happening some morning dew is accumulating and then just dripping down.  I doubt that it has to do with any cold damage.  I might be wrong though.

I wouldn't worry too much now. Looks like it's fixing to shed the oldest leaf. We've had a lot of storms and wind lately and maybe that stressed the seam where the fading leaf attaches to the leaf scar. I also agree with @Reyes Vargas that dew collects around the leaf scar area. If you feel better doing something, spritz some H2O2 there during daylight. Otherwise, it looks great and about to take a growth spurt in the coming heat.

It is simply water accumulation from condensation or recent rain/watering. That is why it is draining at the split of the crown shaft.

Thanks All! I guess I was a little too sensitive. :) 

Nothing wrong with that when we all baby our beloved plants! :greenthumb:

Mine gets like this especially when little leaves and/or dead bugs accumulate in the crown where the petiole is about to peel away from. Natural fertilizer!
