How to Grow Majesty Palms || Majesty Palm Care - Ravenea rivularis
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มิ.ย. 2019
- Majesty palms, Ravenea rivularis, have become a very common tropical houseplant in the U.S. Growing majesty palms indoors isn't always so simple. in this video I cover care for majesty palms including: light for majesty palms, watering majesty palms, fertilizing majesty palms, majesty palm pest and majesty palm troubleshooting. I also talk about picking out healthy plants and how to repot majesty palms. How to grow majesty palms indoors isn't so easy for the average conditions in most homes. When grown as houseplants majesty palms need a lot of light, water, humidity and warmth. Growing majesty palms can however be very rewarding as they grow quickly and add a supreme lushness to inside of the home. Often times majesty palms will grow well indoors but have some discoloration on the foliage from lack of humidity, if the grower can get passed that then it's not that big of deal, but if one wants a perfect looking palm that is easy to grow indoors then I would suggest a kentia palm. Kentia palms are much more expensive but they are practically fool proof, slow growing (so they can remain indoors for many years) and very aesthetically pleasing for the home and garden. With majesty palms liking consistently moist soil, fungus gnats can be an issue. Adding a few inches of sand on the top of the soil can help a lot with that issue, but you'll have to water the plant slowly as to not disturb the sand and make a mess. Mosquito dunk granules are supposed to help also but i've noticed a big improvement when using that method. I also wanted to add that while a Majesty palm can likely do alright for a period of time in lower light it is not ideal for longevity and having a nice looking proportionate houseplant. Oh, and keep the foliage clean, they are dust magnets!

This is my first plant... I'm scared... This video was so helpful. I'm still scared lol
Same here! makes me anxious too😄
How's she doing, 7 months later?
Lol
Mine just died after 2 months. All the leaves turned yellow and brown starting from the bottom of the plant and I everything that I could how’s yours?
girl me too!!
Very informative! You left no stone unturned. Thank you 😊
I haven’t even seen the other videos relating to Majesty palms yet and I think this video is the best. Also side note anyone who just watched this entire video you and I are now Majesty palms Specialists is anyone ask. 😅
🤣😂 thanks Juan! I noticed there weren't many videos on majesty palms which is weird because they are so common. It was a long video but there was a lot to say about them. I always think it's better to explain everything so there is an understanding of the plant rather than just some quick growing facts that are usually not universal so not helpful to everyone.
Tropical Plant Party yeah agreed. I just bought my second one Majesty from a big box on sale also and got it for 50% off. So I wanted to see if I could grow it in a pot this time until I pick a permanent spot. The first one I’ve had for about 20 years and that thing is about 30/35’ tall now. So I hoping this one will grow the same. But it will obviously take some time. Like the other.
30 to 35 feet tall!? That must be so cool! I absolutely love seeing mature majesty palms... I've only ever seen maybe 2 in person.
Tropical Plant Party yea it’s huge! I remember when it used to be my height around 5-6 ft. 20 years ago.
I just planted one in my front yard. Wish me luck!
This is the most info I've ever come across for majesty palm. Thank you.
I have these outside on my patio. The tips on some of the fronds are starting to brown and I’m glad I can across this channel 😁
This video is the most perfect summary of everything I need to know!! I've had my palm for over a year now which is insane considering how much guesswork I did at the start. Even though it's growing strong I love to learn new tips to keep my plants extra happy :) Thank you!!
I’ve sort of taken on the responsibility of our majesty palm and this video was far and away the best thing I could have come across. You somehow made a video for caring for a plant educational and enjoyable and I look forward to seeing this thing take off
I love you...have missed seeing your videos just saw this so excited....thank you....I just rescued a majesty palm from the neighbors trash...it was outside waiting for me to come and rescue it.❤😂
TIPS
I have a Ravenea Majesty Palm Tree indoors and its flourishing. Every 4 days I take it outside and flood it with two full buckets of water that's been sitting out for 2 days to naturally remove the chlorine and let it drain for a few hours then bring in. I also mist tree with warm water 3 times a week. I've fed it Epsom salts added to top layer of soil and mixed it in an inch deep so when watered it all goes through soil. and palm plant food important during growing period/not through Sept to April.. It sits in a west window and it gets bright light all day and maybe 10 minutes of filtered sun just because. Thete have never been spider mites, just centipedes but they dont harm plant and keep the spider mites away. I do know how to eradict them and probably will in time. It's a harmless natural crystal you put on soil which will cut them up. 😰 I replanted it to a 15bunch pot after I purchased it and will keep it in that size for a long time to keep its growth down. These are needy trees to keep alive so good luck. If you have issues fix it please don't throw them away there are not many left in the wild.
Pls don't handle roots or ever remove soil to clean roots or you will most likely kill the tree. My tree is 11 feet tall now. I like to pop in now and then to see what others are doing and to maybe offer some advice.
Your dog reminds me of my dog that passed several yrs ago Luke I miss him so nice seeing him kind of in the image of your older baby.❤
Thank you so much! I was taking care of my majesty palms all wrong. Thanks for the help 💕
Thank you so much ! So informative. You really know your stuff, and you just laid it all out super clearly and concisely.
Thank you! I hope the video was helpful!
This has been the most helpful video I have found for me and my palm! Thanks
Thank you! Hope your palm does well!
Yeah the majesty care video!!
When I first got my palm I spent weeks trying to find how to take care of it. I even went to to site of nursery that grew them. I was still unable to get anyone who could help me. There were roots coming out of the drainage holes. In my other plants that meant root bound. I didn't want to repot because I didn't know what kind of soil to use. Thanks for the help and knowledge. You may have saved it's life.
Thank you for confirming the light issue! Just got a nice bright light for mine. People have been saying they don't need a lot of light which is already sus but then researched further and articles said number one reason for my problem was not enough light. Ugh haha
Yeah your absolutely right about the shade. I put mine out in late May and directly in the full sun and they never get scorched! They are finiky for indoors and everything you mentioned is correct. Great video buddy 👍😁🌴
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I have two walmart clearance ones that I got for $10 last year. I thought they needed more shade, so that is what I did last summer and I was going to do the same thing all over again if I hadn't seen your video. Of course I will be gradually hardening them off and getting them accustomed to the light very gently and gradually.
Oh my goodness, I heard you say you live in St. Louis and so do I! Was watching because I just repotted a majesty palm I bought at Lowe's this week. I don't know much about plants so needed to learn all the things. Thanks and I liked seeing your doggy in the video, too! 🌴🐶
Well hello neighbor!
I just got my first cat palm for indoors your video has been very helpful thank you.
Thank you.
I know these palm aren't considered anything special but I really love fronds and shape of a mature trunk.
Planning to grow one in a pot outside and eventually move into the ground.
I live my life. Then I need some plant help. I find my way back here. I get help. I laugh my ass off. Why do I ever leave? You're the goods :)
Here in HOT Australia, in summer (gets up to 42+ Celsius ) we use a spray on product called 'Droughtsheild'. It is a bit like sunscreen for plants but they can still breathe, keeps the moisture in - it lasts for the whole summer and the plants grow madly. Previously, the whole garden would be blackened - burnt to a crisp. I'm sure there is a similar product in the US...May keep the palms hydrated.
Hello how’re you doing?
Thank you so much for such a great, detailed, and clearly explained instructional video. Have a great day!
I'm so glad to have made something helpful! Best of luck with your plants 😊
Had one outside all summer, it loved it! I bring it inside, with in three weeks it's starting to fade on me. I knew it was coming!
Thank you for the helpful video! Bought one from home depot but it had flies, put it outside because of the flies, it got badly burned in a narrow strip of sunlight... No more palm abuse! Finally have the time and knowledge to repot and treat it right.
🤣😂🤣
Very lengthy video but I appreciate the variety of palm stages shown and your knowledge.
Best video I have seen yet, thank you!!!!!
Thank you!
Your yard/pool area looks so lush and inviting! I'm here to see about the majesty palm, and I want to see IF I can keep on in my greenhouse in winter. I keep it at 50-60f , but since my heater isn't specific about temps, a few times it has gone down to 46f and I can see inside my house when it does and have turned the GH heater up higher. I plan on getting a new heater that I can set a specific temperature on it.
I won't be getting one until next spring, when I can bring it home and not have it freeze to death while in my car. I already have 2 hardy palms in there, but, they are hardy to about 10F, maybe 20f now, since they are babies, BUT, anyways, I want to try a majesty palm since they are more delicate looking. Plus, they are everywhere in Big Box stores.
If I end up getting all of the plants that I want to next spring/summer, like Crotons, and other zone 9 plants, I will surely keep my GH at close to 55-60f. When the electric bill comes, I'll just have to bend over and take it. Plants are a simply wonderful indulgence, worth it if they are happy and looking great, plus, a treat to see in winter if you can pull it off. These CAN deal with 40sF from what you said, and a dry 40s f in my GH should be okay, although I try and stay in high 50'sf anyway. Even with a heater in my GH, it shouldn't get super dry air inside. maybe I can add a pot of water in front of that GH heater too.
Great video, I love how you mentioned how hardy they are, not everybody mentions that kind of thing, just to bring indoors unless you live in Florida, and stuff like that.
Very good. I'm hoping to be able to encourage my Majesty Palm to be healthier using this thorough advice.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
A big like 👍 👍 for your beautiful Garden 🌺 🌼 in your pool side area so many beautiful big Palm trees, it's give more greenry to your garden 🌱🌱🌱🌱 nice information about this plant 👍👍
Thank you so much!
I really needed this video to know why my majesty Palm's tips were browning. I've been misting it like I do with my prayer plant and it seems happier. I love your videos! Informative and entertaining :) thank you!
Well thank you so much!
Bre True I never thought about misting mine with a spray bottle until you comment made it click in my head for some reason lol hopefully it works thanks!
Depending on the climate you live in if hot they need a.couple buckets twice a week. Three palms drink alot unlike others. It's a ravenea majesty palm.
Love all you have in your garden!!!❤ also great info!!👌👍
Thank you Ashley!
Great job explaining this palm. It was the struggle to keep a majesty palm looking good indoors that started my palm obsession many years ago.
That's what started mine too! Got my first majesty palm when I was about 7 or 8 I think, and of course killed it. 😕
Great Info!!😀
Great video thank you!
Awesome video. Thank you 🙏
Nope, won't be growing this beauty in my home, I love that you have them around your pool, they are so gorgeous. I'm going to enjoy these from your channel. These are such beautiful plants and I loved this video, thank you Jeff for all of the information on the Majesty Palm. I look forward to your next video, have a great week I will see you soon, bye for now.
Than you holly! They are a high maintenance palm, not one of my favorites but a lot of people wanted a video on them so I grabbed some cheap ones and figured I give them another whirl. I haven't tried growing them since I converted my garage to a winter grow space so maybe they'll do better in there.
They pretty easy to take care of and you can buy them at Lowe’s really cheap anywhere between 20 to 40 bucks I have five of them in my apartment two large ones one medium and two mini ones
Hi Jeff! Very informative video for those interested in these palms. I don't have the room inside for a plant that big, or the patience for the care they need. If I put a plant 5' away from any window in my house, it would literally be in the middle of the room. Good to see Toby. I hope you will do a night video showing all of your outdoor lights. The ones in this video looked very pretty. Thank you for sharing!
Haha! That's a good point that if these are 5 feet from a window, then they are likely in the middle of many people's rooms! Doing some light repairs but I was thinking after the July garden tour I would do a second night time garden tour! Can't wait!
Nice sharing friend.full watching
I live in FL and was at Home Depot tonight. They only palm potting soil they carry was from Miracle Grow Cactus and Palm potting soil. Ty for your videos!
Thank you, Susan! That isn't a terrible soil for them, that is all they sell up here also. Problem is that the bags are so tiny that it's just cheaper to blend up my own mix. Generally a moisture loving palm really shouldn't be potted in a soil with the word, "cactus" in it's label. Lol!
Great video! I actually saw these on sale at Walmart... found a beautiful and unique-looking to me Bottle Palm at Home Depot. It was so big and expensive. The trunk of the palm looked so cool!
Bottle palms are super cool! I grow the spindles which are very similar, just a little more hardy. Love love love them!
Belleville here, is miracle grow ok to use
Sp super helpful, hank you so much !:)
The most helpful video I’ve watched
Thank you!
Thats what Im saying! I dont wanna kill my new bro with negligence. This guy saved a palm life for sure! Lol
Dude.. that dolphin fountain in the back is so cool!
🤣😂😅 thank you!
Love this video very educational
Thank you!
I bought a majesty and it dropped all its beautiful fronds. :( But you taught me they throw fits, so I didn't PANIC and now new fronds are coming out!! Yay!!
Awesome! Yeah they will throw tantrums sometimes when they need to adjust. Glad yours is starting to come back!
Thank you as always....and your pool area looks like a dreamy oasis.
Thank you lorell! Getting more and more tropical each day!
Tropical Plant Party , you are an inspiration, I play your video to get me going outside and not procrastinating...you are a great teacher just by your Love for plants. We should all remember that feeling of creating beauty by connecting with nature. It is your secret super power....Pan....nature boy....(song) gardening mystic. You are in your element. A joy.
I actually love the Majesty palms. Only the winds that worry me. Canary islands are zone 12b but alot of palms will hate the very windy conditions.
love your backyard
Thank you!
Great video. Just bought my first majesty palm. Actually my first plant ever so I’m a beginner to this. Could you break down the potting mixture you used? I have a 13 gal pot I’m putting this into.
Making me so jealous...beautiful palms and a pool, here I am in the middle of winter in Australia just pruning back boring roses and perennials hahhaha!
I know the feeling. It's how I feel all winter when I'm watching you guys do your gardening. It's actually nice being able to watch and enjoy others in their spring and summer right? Helps get me through my winter blues!
@@TropicalPlantParty well shouldn't complain too much, sunny and 18 degrees Celsius today!
I'll trade you for our 40 degrees and high humidity... ugh
WOW Great video.
Thank you!
"It'll just ... chill. " yuppp, that's pretty much what mine does
🤣😂🤣😂🌴😎
Great video... I bought a majesty palm a couple months ago decent sized but it had some burnt leaves so I’ve trimmed off some. I’ve got it on my front patio and drop a shade on that side off the porch. I also have my Phaleanopsis orchids assorted philodendrons and my monstera deliciousa, and my fiddleleaf fig on that side so they get filtered light in the evening because it’s a Western facing bright light. I also try to mist it atleast once or twice a day so far it’s gotten 3 new frawns. I’m hoping it will grow really good for me along with all my other plants. On the other side of my patio I don’t use a shade but mostly sun loving plants geraniums, jade and hens & chickens and sedums and a some other succulents, and a couple huge opuntia prickly pear cactus also a red oleander bush...they seem to all be thriving!! Keep doin what your doing Really enjoy your video’s. Good content also you make me laugh at times. Hope all is well your way☺️
Jamie Floyd I just got a majesty palm and keeping it in medium light in my living room. I move it closer to the window in the evening to get dappled evening light. I read that misting leaves would encourage mites and bugs, that I should just water and drain the base soil once its completely dry. I am in Florida. What’s your recommendation? I clipped some of the browned tips when I got it. So far so good.
Tap water sprayed on the undersides of the “leaves” works too.
If it grows mold or bugs a 50/50 mix of pinesol and fabuloso sprayed on the dirt fixes it for about 5 months before you need to redo it.
I live in the desert SW, I have mine in my portico, I mist them, early morning
people (not me) buy them to go around there pool for the summer and throw them away in winter around here! great video Jeff
Same here! I think that's what most of the sales are with these palms. People treat them as annuals. I kind of understand that, but would be nice to at least try to overwinter them.
@@TropicalPlantParty some people plant them in the ground around their pools and they are not going to survive the winter but I guess they are cheap and readily available enough to buy more next year
Thanks, great information. I judged 2 (about 5 to 6 feet tall). They look and stand great, but I noticed 2-3 leaves with holes. I’ve had them outside full sun in (NC) for about 8 days. 3 days rain all day. Oh, they have been repotted on day 1. Can you provide info about holes?
Great video. The information was very helpful. I live in Florida, would you still keep them in the plastic container if you were going to keep them outside year around? Thank you!
I have a Washingtonia Robusta in a 12” pot I’ve had for a few years. I’ve never repotted or really fertilized. I can’t find palm tone in the stores where I live but I just gave it 6 Jobee palm spikes the other day. Looking forward to seeing what that does.
Washintonia are fantastic aren't they? They grow with little fuss of assistance.
I watched this video a month ago after one of my palms died and the other one was on death's door😭
With these tips I have to say my plant is thriving!🌿🌿 Thank you thank you! I only wished I had watched earlier😎
Thank you! Im so glad your palm is doing well now!
UGGG I just typed this on Instagram and when I hit send I got an error that you can't receive new messages lol. "I know you are a busy person But I hope this message finds you well. I was hoping for some advice. I have 2 Majesty Palms. They came potted together. I repotted them alone and put them in my back yard. They started turning brown after a couple of days. It appeared our hot California sun was to much for them. I moved them under my covered patio where they still get bright light and afternoon sun but their condition has not improved. I was hoping for some advice as I would love to put these out by my pool. Have you done a video on these? I watched the video you did but following the advice dose not seem to be helping them. I am guessing because of our vast difference in climates. In closing, I love your videos, always brings a smile to my face."
im sooo sad. i was neglecting my plants for like a month due to very vusy schedule mixed with life issues. came home to a fully yellow frond. literally no excuses... in sunny, warm, extremely humid florida and all i had to do was move it one foot over and it would have been thriving. there's still hope.
Please don't take offense but your rambling was quite soothing 💖 I'm thinking after Covid passes we can have Maui Tais and you can educate me more on this plant🥃. However, thank you for the information 👌🏾
Hey what slow release do you use for this one? Should a get a specific one for palm trees? I have an all purpose one but would rather be on the safe side. Thank you :)
Get yourselves a huge tub... fill it with water and throw in magnesium sulfate (Epson salts)... dunk your palm in it for 30min. Take out and let drain thoroughly. Do this with your other tropical planters like your ferns... Beautiful green color, nice deep watering, great growth! I do this maybe 2x a season and I have beautiful full foliage!
Hi, I watch your videos all the time. I love your yard, WOW!!!! I bought 2 majestic palms a few months ago, and they did great all summer. I'm getting ready to bring them inside cause I live in Michigan. Should I get grow lights for them over the winter? I dont have any bright rooms where I have space to keep them near a window. Thanks
Bill
I would probably get a grow light! It will help through the cold months.
I had mine inside and loved it... but as soon as I took them outside in New Orleans hot humid weather they started growing at the top... what did I do wrong?
For people wanting to grow this outdoors, I’d say a good 9b palm. I’m in 9a, and it survived a good 6 years before dying. It would lose its fronds around 28 degrees F, but the trunk would survive down to around 20. One winter I hit 18 in my yard and that was it for the palm.
Yeah they can take some brief cold but they're just so delicate! Lol... 18 degrees is really cold! I'd be so devastated because I know if i were 9a I'd be risking it and planting all kinds of zone 9b and 10 plants and just hoping winters would be mild.
Tropical Plant Party I know that’s how I am. I have tons of things like heliconias and I try to over winter star fruit and lychees outside. I’m glad though that tropical hibiscus and birds or paradise are hardy in my area since they’re my favorites.
Really testing the limits there…
@@vladislavfedorovskyi7094 so far so good. We hit 12/13 degrees F last year and I surprising lost little. Most things resprouted from roots.
I just bought one of these. My initial thoughts would be, putting it in my front porch corner. I live in Ontario Canada. So right now, it can be 23-30 degrees outside. Its in the shade. Can u pls let me know if thats ok to put it there? Thanks! I honestly didnt know its a house plant 😩 it looks so good outside tho lol
If the roots start to push up above the soil is it okay to leave the top of the roots showing or should you repot?
I have a majesty palm and the roots were pushing up above the soil but I did not want to use a bigger pot because it would be too heavy to move. So I cut off some of the roots at the bottom but then 2 of the frond bulbs died. I had 4 frond bulbs - not sure if that is what they are called. Should I have left the palm being somewhat root bound with the top of the roots showing above the soil?
Also is there a way to grow a majestic palm from a cutting? How could you propagate more plants from your existing majestic palm?
I just wanna take a dip there 💦 looks so good 🏊🌿
When the new fronds grow and it get overcrowded, do I cut off the old fronds?
Yay! You're in St Louis too!! I just bought one of these the other day from Home Depot. It looks great, very large, tall and healthy...but I have to keep it inside, it's so big and I'm not sure if I can keep moving it back and forth from inside to outside, especially since I took it out of the plastic pot and put it in a huge ceramic one. It's sitting in my large family room right next to my back window that faces west. I have skylights too and some light that comes in from the front door facing east. I just hope I dont kill it. I keep my house at 75° during the summer, close to that in the winter. It was also very root bound in the plastic pot, packed in with lots of swirling roots and a small bit of root rot. So I loosened up the root ball pretty good, cut back the impacted root swirls to loosen those too and cut the smooshy stuff off. I hope I did everything right and it can exist in my house comfortably.
Well hello neighbor! Sounds like you have everything set up to grow a nice and healthy majesty palm!
Great video! I just use Jobes palm fertilizer, stinky but works great.
Thank you! Yes it does! Jobes palm fertilizer has been around for a long time and always seems to do the trick for me.
Tropical Plant Party how often do you use it on yours? I am using it about 3 times a year.
Sooooo, I had an injured palm and all stalks were cut down.. we re-potted it. Any tips on bringing it back to life? Weve kept it moist and it's in front of the sliding glass door. Any ideas would help.
some of my fronds tips are drooping, Had a few brown tips when I bought it. Should I water more??
Hi! Great video!
I´m really scared right now because we got the palm in May I think, summer in Canada, and we moved to a bigger plant pot so our cats stop throwing it to the floor! :(
We put some stones at the bottom of the container, soil, and cover it with some decorative stones, the last ones are because in that way the cats again... would not dig the soil lol.
Since 3 weeks ago I think, the palm started turning brown, but really bad!!! I thought maybe it needs more water! so I´m watering more, I just did cut a leave that was all brown, and I saw another that is almost complete brown too!!! :( It has 2 new leaves that are not completely open yet, I hope they end opening nice but I can see some brown on those too :(
I hope my palm is not dying, it´s really beautiful, also I started to spry with water a week ago because I saw some tiny spider web in between !!! too tiny!!! is that a disease?
Please Help!
And thanks so much!!!
Finally the sun has returned and brought temps soaring to the 90s, bad for my Gerber Daisy but great for swimming! 🏖
My Supertunia Vista Bubblegums popped back great, and it looks like only my Surfinias ain't coming back (root rot maybe). I'm not mad about because wow those bubblegums are amazing!!
Happy Gardening! Ty for the tips and inspiration.
Glad the sun has finally returned! Surfinias are my favorite! I miss them so much! Nobody sells them anymore but when I used to plant them in the pots around my pool they would get so big and long that they were crawling across the pavement.
Thank you for this informative video. I just bought my first Majesty Palm. We have two cats and one of them is already obsessed with the palm and eats the lower leaves - hopefully it won't hurt it too much if it's just on the lower fronds? I know this palm isn't toxic to cats but I don't want my cat to be toxic to the palm!
Cats LOVE their fronds! It should be just fine since it's just the lower growth.
Put a few nails in my soil I got a tip from somewhere and tried it and my plants perked up immediately within days
My palm is at least 20 years old and looks good. I keep it next to a window and regularly prune . I do have an excess of thick brown dead looking stem pieces at the base of the fronds I suppose where I've pruned. Should I cut those dead pieces down to dirt level?
I have a majesty palm indoor, mine was happy and growing indoors and producing a lot of new spikes from the growing tip, all of the sudden I went to prune and there was a white mold between pieces and when i pushed the whole thing came off the base like it had rotted through. Any tips?? It was a twin so I am not sure if I should clean it out,, remove all the soil, so the other twin doesn't die.
I have one that I overwintered under a grow light and next to a humidifier and it survived. It didn’t thrive but it is back outside growing like crazy and loving the rain.
They are so much easier to keep outdoors aren't they? Sounds like you pulled out all the bells and whistles for it! Good plant parent!
Ahhh you make me nervous! I live in Canada and I got one for a fairly good price. It actually got a tiny bit of brown tips being kept out in spring here (had some very sunny hot days around 37C). I brought it inside about 6 feet away from an East facing window and it’s been doing a lot better. I’ve got 2 new fronds coming up, 1 slowly unfurling. I’m nervous about correctly watering etc. It’s been about a month now.
Do you think Schultz 10-15-10 liquid fertilizer would be good for it?
I was gifted one as a house plant. Just wondering if it’s ok to tie the stems together in order to compact the plant. They are floppy fronds but if I tie them together, it’ll fit where I need it. ???
Do the larger pots that you drop the nursery pot into, also need to have draining holes?
Thank you so much for your video!!! So helpful!!! I have watched it like 6 times. Lol. So I bought 2 of these at Lowes. They had them inside I brought them home and I keep them outside under a shaded umbrella. I live in Northern California and its sunny mostly and currently hot. I just repot them in ceramic larger planters with half palm soil and half potting soil. So far they look good. How long do you think I have to wait to move them to full sun exposure? They would get like 2-3 hours of sun exposure when I finally move them. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks again!
Hello, Irene! Generally 2 weeks per hour of sunlight is a safe acclimation rate. I rarely have the patience for that and do it 1 week per hour of sunlight and don't normally have any issues. 2 to 3 hours of sun isn't too much, so I would think a 2 to 3 week acclimation would be just fine.
@@TropicalPlantParty Thank you so much for your time and your fast response!! Greatly appreciated!
Very informative 😄 Wish I seen this video a year ago 😐 lol
My palm started off with dark green leaves and is now a light green color kind of lime greenish 🤔 should I be concerned? Also some of the leaves are brown and crispy kind of like straw. Should I cut those leaves off? 🤔 This was my first plant btw 😂 Oh I keep this plant indoors in the winter and outdoors in the spring/summer (Midwest living) 😊
I live in Chicago zone 5 just wondering what zone do you live in so I can kind of follow your advice. Thanks for the video
Thank you i love you
Thank you! 💚
Do you think me putting it outside some days will help boost its growth? Or will that shock them ?
I tried a majesty palm for the first time last summer and it completely died. I think the soil was too moist and it was planted too deeply. I recently grabbed one from my local big box store that had 2 trunks (or offshoots), as I often see at the big stores, and one is already gone! The same thing that happened to last years, happened to this offshoot in particular. I’m hoping I can replant the remaining one in the same nursery pot with some better draining soil and have her for years to come. Fingers crossed.🤞🏽
you should do an update on your hibiscus from hidden valley hibiscus!
So first of all, thank you for this video!! So helpful. Second, you mention a humidifier could help if placed nearby.
What do you think would happen if a few drops of essential oils are in the humidifier (I typically run one for the lovely smells)? Could it damage the palm? Do you think it would effect it at all?
Oh i really don't know. If it is consistent then that could cause problems with clogging the pores on the foliage, but I'd think the amount would be so low that it wouldn't do that. There are also some oils that will kill leaves if the solution is strong enough. This something I'm interested to do some reading on. I'll let you know if I find out anything important.
Tropical Plant Party thank you for your response!
My palm has really outgrown the house can I put it outside or will it not handle the sun
Just bought a Majesty Palm. I put it about 1 foot away from a window in my kitchen and it's getting about 6-8 hours of indirect light. I heard that it is good to water it with distilled water. Also, how much water should I give it and how often?
Got one for free tonight at Home Depot! I have it outside. Im so scared for where it will go in the fall though as far as bringing it in the house and pests.
