Hello. Maybe someone here can help me. I bought a jelly palm in April and planted it around the first of May. It looked great for the first week or so, then started to deteriorate. All of the outer leaves are brown except one and the center leaf in the middle is still green. Not sure what caused this. Possibly a pest of some sort? I gave it water every evening for the first 2 weeks it was planted and then backed off to its current watering routine which is 2-3x a week. Maybe that had something to do with it? Please help!! Thank you!!

Jelly palm (Butias sp) do not like indoors unless in very direct light for a good portion of the day. Delaware is not a particularly warm area and Butias thrive with heat, then they require regular water. Sounds like it was over watered and has conditions not to its liking. I always make sure my indoor plants are watered to where you can see water at the bottom of container coming out but letting dry out somewhat in between, especially in winter so back off watering and do not apply fertilizers until it acclimates. New growth should be rapid this time of year. 

Hope this helps...

You don't say this is potted so I'll assume it's planted in-ground. It seems under-watered, especially for the heat wave last week.
