PashkaTLT Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 (edited) Hello guys, This is not the first Majesty palm that doesn't like it inside. This time I had a humidifier in the room and the humidity was ~45%, but still the Majesty & Cat Palms were going allow. Inside they were standing near a window for 2 weeks after I bought them in HomeDepot (they were inside there as well). Today I decided to put them outside, hopefully they will like it better outside. Majesty on the left & cat palm on the right: They were completely green 2 weeks ago when I bought them from Home Depot. What's wrong in my house?

PashkaTLT Posted April 20 Author Report Share Posted April 20 @Allen Maybe I didn't explain well, in HomeDepot they were standing inside as well and they were inside for 2 weeks in my house, I just put them outside today... Or you mean they were outside in sun at the seller and if I didn't buy them they would go yellow inside HomeDepot too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe water - You can water those a ton outside.

PashkaTLT Posted April 20 Author Report Share Posted April 20 Btw, the average night temperature here is 45F, but the lowest will be 38F (for like 1 hour). Is that ok, or I should take them inside? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Las Palmas Norte Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 I must've had a "senior moment" when I didn't understand what was being stated. I later surmised that it was a low humidity or overhead protection event. I know from previous experiences that if actual frost doesn't settle on fronds, there's several degrees advantage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A frost burns the Fronds, How it does that is when the sun hits the frost it causes the cells in the Fronds to rupture. That is what kills it. At cooler temps without frost, the tree simply goes dormant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreaminAboutPalms Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 Majesty's are terrible house plants. They need tons of water and sunlight and fertilizer and humidity and need to be planted in a swamp essentially to survive. They are only sold because they are cheap 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enar Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 I firmly believe humidity plays a big role. Winter low: 16F (December 2022), Summer/spring high: ~85F (March 2023). Very humid climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
