Brown spots on majesty palm

[2palm]

It’s and these small brown spots for us whole life but they have been getting worse so I thought I would post about it. Is this a problem? (It’s also starting to look like it’s dead)

These are water lovers and can burn in full sun when they are young. I don’t know what temps you are seeing there and this palm looks young . Keep it well watered and use mulch to help keep the soil damp . Depending on how long it has been since it was fertilized , consider a time release fertilizer like Palm Gain sparingly. It will probably take a while for it to start looking better. Harry

Sunburn. Move it into dappled shade or set up a high % shade cloth shield over it.

If the new fronds are all pale green, I'd be concerned about a root rot or overly mucky soil.  That happens a lot with dense soil.  Iron deficiency is the usual cause, and EDDHA works as a good supplement.  If it's root rot then a foliar spray like Southern Ag Palm Nutritional Spray is a good option.

Majesty palms make poor indoor plants, and I quit trying to grow them outside here too.  I just couldn't keep them happy in full shade, sun, wet areas, dry areas, etc.  Big box stores love them because they grow really fast as seedlings and get big fronds quick when grown at nurseries.

Yeah we have been getting 104 degree weather recently and its in the most shaded spot in my yard. Its been fertilized recently and its getting fertilized with 12-4-12 every 3-4 months. If i have to keep it as a house plant, I don't have space to have inside this cramped mobile home. Could putting a shade cloth over it work or is it a lost cause?
