you put so much info into this!! gave me so much more confidence to raise my new majesty palm. most videos on YT discourage people from getting these palms, which was making me nervous. your video helped me out a lot, thank you!!
me too..i just picked up on clearanced out at Lowes....After YT info, everything was sayinf grow hard it is to care for...i live in kentucky and it's super cold so I have it inside
One minute in, and I already realize I'm doing it wrong. I thought the brown tips meant ot was under watered.. I screw myself every year!!! Thank you!!
I LOVE that neanthe bella palm you showed in your very first house tour video. I would love to hear more about that palm. Thanks for the very helpful info you shared in this video about controlling spider mites & other pests!
Yes! I plan to make a video just for the Neanthe bella palm. Spoiler alert, the Neanthe Bella palm is one of the only palms that is a natural understory plant, so that’s why I couldn’t do a generic “Palm” video!
Great video! I too am in NE Ohio in Canton, my palm is browning on the tips and the fronds are curling under. I bought a humidity gauge and where the plant is its at 37%. I'm assuming to low so I'm gonna get a small humidifier and see if it helps. Thanks for the informational video.
I live in Northeast Ohio. I live in Willoughby and luckily and knock on wood. I've never had insect problems for my majesty palm but I believe I did kill it because I cut the roots because I thought they were rotten, he's slowly dying and I feel so bad cuz I had him for 3 years. But I'm going to go out and purchase another one lol
That’s amazing! I’ve noticed that the palms at my local garden center outside in pots took a long time to succumb to the cold. I wonder if living outside makes yours and theirs hardier somehow? More tolerant of varying temperatures? Mine is definitely used to the pampered life lol 😂 💚
Good luck! I have a Cataract Palm I got end of season too (like I need another palm 😅) and it’s actually doing better than I had hoped. Just watch those darn pests 💚
Your palm is BEAUTIFUL! GOALS! I wish I could show you the state of my 5 that I got in May. Is there any way?? They are STRUGGLING - fully brown/yellow leaves, a tiny bit of new green growth but one is just all stems no leaves anymore-is it hopeless? After watching your video I think it may be an over-watering (I've been watering daily b/c we've had HOT DRY weather this summer) AND lack of food situation (I haven't fertilized at all so will go get what you recommended and try that weekly). They are under the eaves on the south side/back patio of our SW Washington house. Pretty mild normally, good humidity, but got lots of hot sun this summer. They basically pretty strong sun for at least 1/2 the day maybe more. We are approaching the rainy season in a couple months so I'm not sure what to expect then. No mites (maybe I missed the spring ones?? - bought all at Lowe's in May) but I will look for them soon. Thank you for your video. I love these plants and want them to thrive so desperately even though I am TERRIBLE with plants.
Sorry they are struggling! The one with only stems is probably gone. If there’s green growth there is still a chance. From the story it sounds like they may have burned up in the sun. If they are not used to strong sun and suddenly get it, that happens. Same thing happened to my fiddle leaf. If you can, pull them out of their containers and look at the roots. If they are brown and papery they are rotting from overwatering. If they are white they are healthy. Also, palms do normally shed dead leaves so remove the dead. This lets the plant move on to sustaining the living leaves 💚
Your palm is gorgeous.. When you water your palm, do you pour in water till it runs out the bottom? I’m up in Vancouver Canada and use a grow light in winter do you? And what about miracle grow 202020? See ya
Hi there! No, that pot doesn’t have a drainage hole, so I water about 1/4- 1/2 every week or two, (big pot, 20x17 inches) I stick my finger in the pot, if it’s dry the length of my finger it’s time to water. I don’t use a grow light because it’s in a west window, but if you don’t have strong sunlight I would use one. No I don’t use miracle grow because 20-20-20 is too strong for a houseplant with no drainage hole in pot ( there is nowhere for the excess fertilizer salts to drain, and can burn the plant) I use organic Espoma indoor liquid fertilizer, much weaker, 2-2-2 I think? Thanks for comment, hope that helps!! 💚
I just put a new one in my room. Not much sun can get to it but I did get a uv light for it. I think I was over watared in the summer and it's very large could I send some picks for you to help me out???
You can either scratch up the roots a bit and plant in a larger container, or prune the root ball (cutting off no more than 1/3 of the roots) and replant into same pot with some fresh soil. However if you prune the root ball I would wait for spring
I've had mine for a couple of months from costco, I'm thinking the brown tips are from cold damage. Do I need to trim those off? The green won't come back right?
Hello! Correct, once tips go brown the green will not come back, but it’s your aesthetic choice whether or not to trim the tips. It may be cold damage if it was exposed to less than 60 for more than 5-10minutes. It can also be overwatering, so if it keeps happening check your soil. Lastly it can be fertilizer burn, so just make sure your are fertilizing correctly; I recommend organic liquid fertilizer.
I have one for many years and it's to my ceiling, I love it but do t know what to do about it touching the ceiling should I cut the tops down , I'm at a loss
NO, do NOT cut the top! Topping a palm will kill it unfortunately. If you can prune just that frond a little bit away from the ceiling if it’s bothering you. If it’s growing a baby plant at the base, cut the baby away and keep the baby and start fresh. Or, trade someone for a smaller plant +money. That’s the only bad thing about indoor palms, there isn’t much you can do with them once they touch the ceiling, but great job growing and loving it!
Hi, yes you should be able to. Just make sure the trunks aren’t fused at the base (like, you don’t have to cut them apart with a saw) and *try* to be as gentle as you can with the roots. It will be traumatic for the plant, so try to cause as little collateral damage as you can
I bought one from Home Depot recently and it was extremely root bound. I could not loosen them by hand and opted not to cut any of them off while repotting in a larger pot with fresh soil. Was this a mistake? Should I saw/cut off a portion of the roots?
No, you don’t have to cut the roots of a bound plant. The pros go back and forth on that. Loosening them helps the new roots spread out faster, but damaging them too much can be dangerous for the plant 🤷♀️ What is important is that when you water, water by the base of the plant to soak that rock hard ball of roots, but also water well on the edges to attract roots OUTWARD outside of the ball. Roots naturally seek moist soil, that’s why it’s important to water all over the top of the pot to distribute it evenly.
How do you keep spider mites off of it? Ive had one for years mine looks no where as good as yours because im constantly having to drag it to the shower and hose them off. Like right now its on my porch in 40 degree temps because i neem oiled it yesterday and lol forgot it. Its huge like yours and getting to the point its not worth it its too heavy and too high matinence cuz of the unrelenting spider mites.
Oh I’m sorry! Mine had spider mites on it when I brought it from my parents’ house to my house. I soaked it down in dish soap and water mixture (2-3 squirt soap to 32 oz water) and I did that every few days for a couple weeks. Now every spring and fall I spray it down in 1 squirt soap: 32oz water once a week for a month. I don’t take it outside anymore either. I personally didn’t find that neem worked well, and I couldn’t stand the smell. Hope that helps, good luck!
Ok I brought them in and the outer fronds are yellow they all have new shoots. Should I cut the yellow ones off or should I let them dry up then cut them off? I don’t know if I can post a picture on here. Thank you so much. This is my third year bringing them indoors but they don’t seem to get taller then five feet because the outer ones don’t survive so I cut them off. Not sure what I am doing wrong
You can cut the dead ones. Just make sure it’s still getting as much sun as you can give it in the winter. And also make sure you’re fertilizing regularly during the growing months. I probably prune mine once a year for dead fronds. Also make sure you’re bringing it inside before it gets too cold. Maybe the cold is stunting the growth a bit?
Help!!! I have done the worst to my majesty palm 😢 I wish I have watched your video sooner. The plant had pests and I wanted to treat it and repot it and wash it so I took it out in a cold weather and and did it. Now I’m watching it die off every single day😢😢😢😢 is there anything I can do to save it stems are walking and the leaves getting crispy and yellow all over
Oh no! Well, you can’t cut the top off a palm tree, so do not cut it back to the ground. Allow the individual fronds to die off, and remove them one at a time and give it time. You may find that a new undamaged frond will emerge. If the whole plant got too cold even down to the trunk it may not recover but only time will tell. When mine got damaged it was only outside for 30-40 minutes so it can happen very fast. Good luck!
Hello! Yes, they absolutely can survive less than 65. When nights are consistently in the 50s, the plant starts to get cold damage and may start to die. I bring mine in early because I like to keep them looking as perfect as I can, so once the nights dip below 60 I bring them in.
I have not heard of using baking soda. But I currently use dish soap and water spray. I haven’t been able to find anything else that works better, pesticides included 🤷♀️
I really wish I could've placed my once beautiful majesty Palm in a warmer, sunnier location in my house this winter, but my cat seems to want to bite and chew on plants. I have it inside my back porch, but not in a heated room. It gets little Sun, hoping it survives.
One of my majesty plams developed a bad case of scale insects. I never had this palm outdoors and none of the other plants in my house had scale insects. Therefore I assume the plant was infected when I bought it at the big box store. After using soap and water to attempt to kill the scale insects, I began using alcohol on a q-tip to kill each individual scale insect. I am not sure this palm is going to make it. So my cautionary tale is to make sure if you buy a majesty palm from a big box store, check it over very carefully for scale insects before you bring it home.
Yes agreed. I had a Schefflera like that. It got spider mites and scale, sitting on a shelf all by itself 🙄. Thanks for your comment/ sharing your experience 💚
I have mine in a west facing window, but yes they do great inside. I now have a smaller one too from this summer that I brought inside that’s doing well in an east window
@@allhouseplants I'm in India,but sunlight don't come,only bright light comes,maybe direct sunlight little bit comes in your indoor east window,you should show planter pot too so that we can buy that shape and size and plastic or ceremic pot,ok
I’ve had millipedes several times in new palms, but once they die, I’ve never noticed them returning. Yes the glue traps work great and not too expensive. Just keep pets and kids away ❤️
Hello! NO, Cat palms are understory palms like Parlor Palms. So medium to low light, but can be acclimated to a bright indirect light situation, but limit direct sun exposure. Majesty palms like full-sun, and can handle all the sun you give them (as long as they haven’t been acclimated to a low light situation upon coming home). I intend to make a video about the different types of palms. Will try to fast-track that one. 💚🌴
In my huge one I use about 1 gallon every 2 weeks, but in 10 or 14” pot I would use maybe 2 cups every 2 weeks. Check the soil moisture with your finger, or the weight of the pot. See my video m.th-cam.com/video/1xNaUYHjyjo/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUdSW5kb29yIGdhcmRlbmluZyAxMDEgd2F0ZXJpbmc%3D
They may not necessarily be dead, but just some damaged leaves. Bring them in ASAP, and see how much if the plant remains green. If they put out a new frond they will be fine
Hello, yes you can absolutely use neem oil as well. For me, it is similarly effective as the soap solution, but I cannot stand the way the neem oil smells! 🤢🤮
Is the whole tree starting to get yellow or just a bottom frond or two? If it’s only fronds from the bottom, and it’s only one or two, this can be normal shedding of the fronds, and just cut them off as close to the stem of the plant as you can. If the whole tree is yellowing, check soil and root first. Too wet or too dry? Also check the plant for spider mites. You will notice very teeny tiny webs between the leaves, and this means spider mites. Let me know.
Hello I'm back again with a update on my majestic palm. Well as I'm checking the palm it seems like the tips are turning brown. And I think I need to cut off the really old fronds that Been on there for a long time. What do you think?
Haha, well…. if it gets less than 50 degrees F it will definitely die. I left my big one outside on a 50 degree day for a couple hours and the leaves got cold damage on all the tips. But if you don’t have room, pitch it and buy new in the spring 💚
Yes, you are correct, for a plant like Calathea or begonia that requires very high humidity. Most palms like high humidity, but can tolerate moderate humidity well. The most common reason for brown tips in plants that tolerate low to moderate humidity is overwatering (or in the case of dracaena chorine sensitivity) 💚
Sorry to hear, sounds like maybe the plant’s growth is being inhibited somehow…. 1. Is the soil evenly moist? Water if it’s dry. If it’s too wet, repot, or rough up the soil 4-6” down and put a small fan on it to dry it out. 2. Temperature- is it warm enough? At least 65 in the house? Plants are “cold-blooded” 3. Is it getting enough sun? Can’t make food without sun and water. Majesty palms love direct sun. 4. Humidity- want at least 40%. if air is too dry can keep palms and philodendrons from unfurling properly. Mist with spray bottle daily Is it root bound? Was it fertilized before winter? Now that it’s spring, maybe give it a little bit of fertilizer but go east for now. Good luck!!
Depending on your zone I’m 9B and I just leave it outside all season. I have it in the patio and on my porch. Some nights are in the 20s.

Great video! Palms have always been my nemesis plants, I see that you have several in your collection. Learned a lot from this video. Thanks!
Great! So glad to hear! Maybe you can try one again 🌴❤️ I struggled a lot too at first, especially with the mites, and still do sometimes.
Good evening beautiful plant thank you for sharing friend

Wow Thanks _ love your experience
You’re welcome, enjoy and good luck!!
Thank you ! I was getting ready to toss this plant !
Oh glad you didn’t! They do great in the house as long as they are in a window getting enough light!! Mine is truly one of my favorite plants 💚
Very helpful! I found Neem oil worked on all my palms for spider mites tho, plus it gives the leaves a nice shine.
Hello! I'm glad the neem worked for you! I know a lot of people have success with it, but truthfully the aroma keeps me away from it too! LOL
Thank you for sharing. I just bought a majestic palm for an inside plant and need all the info I can get right now
They are great plants! Good luck!
Very helpful and I moved from Cleveland to NC, but I do get some snow and ice😎
Nice! Hope it’s nice down there!
Great video! I too am in NE Ohio in Canton, my palm is browning on the tips and the fronds are curling under. I bought a humidity gauge and where the plant is its at 37%. I'm assuming to low so I'm gonna get a small humidifier and see if it helps. Thanks for the informational video.

Yea there is always a learning curve with everything, don’t feel too bad. The next one will prosper from what you’ve learned! 💚
I’m here in California. I leave them outside all winter unless it gets under 38. They survived last winter I only had to bring them in once.
That’s amazing! I’ve noticed that the palms at my local garden center outside in pots took a long time to succumb to the cold. I wonder if living outside makes yours and theirs hardier somehow? More tolerant of varying temperatures? Mine is definitely used to the pampered life lol 😂 💚

I live in Ontario Canada. It's hard to keep my palms healthy. Thanks for the information ❤👌🏽
Good luck! They are great houseplants as long as they get enough light!!
I bought the palms plants today living in Ontario. I am praying that they stay longer and thriving
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I think it's too late for my palm tree and I think the spider mites took it over but I'll know next time
Yea sometimes that happens. Luckily most palms aren’t too expensive so they can be replaced

The UV should work, just try to give it as much light as possible, and repot some of the soggy soil if it’s not drying out
Thank you for the great info. If the majesty palm out gre it’s old pot and it is root bound what do we have to do?

NO, Cat palms are understory palms like Parlor Palms. So medium to low light, but can be acclimated to a bright indirect light situation, but limit direct sun exposure.

Is the whole tree starting to get yellow or just a bottom frond or two? If it’s only fronds from the bottom, and it’s only one or two, this can be normal shedding of the fronds, and just cut them off as close to the stem of the plant as you can.
If the whole tree is yellowing, check soil and root first. Too wet or too dry? Also check the plant for spider mites. You will notice very teeny tiny webs between the leaves, and this means spider mites. Let me know.
Hello I'm back again with a update on my majestic palm. Well as I'm checking the palm it seems like the tips are turning brown. And I think I need to cut off the really old fronds that Been on there for a long time. What do you think?
What If you DONT want to bring it inside during the fall and winter?
Haha, well…. if it gets less than 50 degrees F it will definitely die. I left my big one outside on a 50 degree day for a couple hours and the leaves got cold damage on all the tips. But if you don’t have room, pitch it and buy new in the spring 💚
Actually Brown Tips Could Mean A Humidity Issue.
FYI..
Yes, you are correct, for a plant like Calathea or begonia that requires very high humidity. Most palms like high humidity, but can tolerate moderate humidity well. The most common reason for brown tips in plants that tolerate low to moderate humidity is overwatering (or in the case of dracaena chorine sensitivity) 💚
What if my Palm won't unfurl like the branches they just stay in tubes I'm having troubles with mine help😢
Sorry to hear, sounds like maybe the plant’s growth is being inhibited somehow….
1. Is the soil evenly moist? Water if it’s dry. If it’s too wet, repot, or rough up the soil 4-6” down and put a small fan on it to dry it out.
2. Temperature- is it warm enough? At least 65 in the house? Plants are “cold-blooded”
3. Is it getting enough sun? Can’t make food without sun and water. Majesty palms love direct sun.
4. Humidity- want at least 40%. if air is too dry can keep palms and philodendrons from unfurling properly. Mist with spray bottle daily
Is it root bound? Was it fertilized before winter? Now that it’s spring, maybe give it a little bit of fertilizer but go east for now.
Good luck!!
