happypalms Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 Discovered my foxy lady dying I always pull out any dead or dying plant always to inspect what might be the cause of the issue and to my discovery a grub was eating away unnoticed eating the palm heart I have never seen this before and let’s say very disappointing with the result to have such a rare palm die this way a soil insecticide may have helped but I don’t like to spray my palms it is what it is 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
