Should I add Iron to my palm soil for.....

[Paradise Found]

 Phoenicophorium Borsigianum or is it not necessary for this palm, even though it has lots of iron in it native soil?

Trying to get the leaves to be more orange if that is possible. Will heat and sunlight do the same thing?

thank you!

Palmlover 78 thanks for the video it was very helpful.  

If Jeff says it needs little more sun but not all at once and some heat and humidity thats what I will give it. Orange colored leave go green as it ages and get bigger.  Mine will not be expose to temps below low 50's at night. I knew about the watering and it likes it feet wet all the time. Mine sits in a small dish of water. 

Thanks again Palmlover 78.  

Its a tricky question since not many people are growing this palm do to its tropical climate needs.

I do like a challenge Palmlover 78, but this one seems pretty easy I think!  Grow inside in winter (under grow lights) go inside greenhouse in late spring to get some heat and humidity, outside in garden (middle of summer.)  No problems that I can see.   But time will tell.
