Renting a place in Phoenix Az, I have 3 Palm trees. The other two are doing fine, but this has slowly gotten sadder & sadder.
I’ve attempted adding more water, slow & deep watering about every other day for a week & still no luck.
I know summers here are insane but idk what else I can do for this poor baby. Any advice would be awesome

TLDR; Yellowing leaves/stems, over-watered, MANY years in the same pot, stems speckled with small black spots.

My mother has had an indoor Palm for many years. It has been yellowing for a long time and I have decided to try to save it...

I am an outdoor vegetable gardener in the US north east, with no appreciable experience with indoor plants or palms.

Observations; Looks most like an Areca Palm to me after limited web searching. The plant has been in 8" or maybe 1 gallon plastic pot soaking in a few inches of water for many years. There is likely very little soil and it seems that I will do massive damage to the existing root structure if I cut the pot off or cut the roots to try to remove the pot whole. Either way, Looks like it could use a peroxide soak to mitigate root rot before I re-pot it.

My current plan;

• Remove existing pot as gently as possible...
• Hose off soil from root ball
• Soak root ball and bottom of plant in a dilute peroxide solution for 1 hr.
• Re-pot with fresh potting soil in a larger pot
• Cross fingers...
• Place new pot/plant in a decorative planter with ability to monitor soil moisture and drainage.

Please tell me if my plan is sound, or how I can improve it.

Thank you

Have this palm tree that sprouted and began growing in this garden bed. Owner asks if it can be dug up and relocated to another part of the property. Whats the best way to go about doing this? Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what is the best way to remove the palm without harming the rose. I apologize, but I don't know what type of palm it is. It grew in wild. I wouldn't mind keeping it if it can be removed without harming it. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. And I'm in the California Crntral Valley, if that helps in any way.

I recently had the chance to interview Pierre-Olivier Albano, the curator of Palmetum de Guyane, and there was a concept he mentioned that really stuck with me.

He maintains a group of what he calls “strategic species”—palms that would be extremely difficult (or impossible) to replace due to rarity, sourcing challenges, or limited distribution.

It got me thinking about how others here approach their collections—do you prioritize rarity, resilience, or something else entirely?

Curious how others think about this.

If anyone’s interested, here’s a link to the full interview.

Was just in South Florida recently and whenever I’m there, I love to take pictures of the royal palms, they make me feel like I’m in a video game with how vibrant green the top of the trunk is before the branches come out. Love them!

moving from Atlanta Georgia area to a new home outside of Jacksonville Florida and need to find a way to get three large potted palm trees to the new home

The trees are all between four and 5 feet tall and about 4 to 5 feet around, they are all in and between 150 to 300 pounds.

There is no way that my Husband and I can manage this task. We are both retired. I know that I could move them myself if I had time before our our closing on our current home and closing on the new home

Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ve looked at UPS priority. but I’d really like to know if there are any suggestions on companies that Jesus sort of thing I’ve had these palm trees since they were the size of Little Home Depot I am very concerned about them being transported properly.

My favorite species of palm, the name Royal palm really is apt because they’re majestic. The smooth gray trunks are beautiful and those nice full crowns get huge in mature specimens. I love seeing those huge ones lining the streets in Miami

These palm trees tend to lean towards the West. I see a lot of them braced in different ways because of this. But is it necessary to brace this one? It's about 15' tall.

Hello i need some help with my new palm tree. 1month ago when i choose the place to plan it had all green leaves, today is like that. Yellow and with marrn spots...thank u

Hello! Forgive my total ignorance with these plants. I have collected various seeds in gardens around me and the fact is that, for me, the plants of origin were the same. Most of them were not very large palms, I don't know if it was due to the species or the size of the specimen. Obviously, looking at their fruits, that is not the case. I live in Madrid, but that is not a clue because the seeds are collected in parks. I'll post photos to see if you can tell me what species they belong to.

Hello. Here I go AGAIN. I am a novice attempting to grow yet another palm, which I've never been able to do. When I brought it home it was super dry. After watering it, it immediately got yellow and started to look sickly. I removed all ill looking fronds, and clipped the brown edges off the ends of the leaves. On closer inspection I saw what looked like small snails and small worms that might had lived in the shells - all were dead. I removed them, took the plant outside and gave it a good spray of neem oil and a little dish soap and water. I poured maybe less than a cup on the solution on root ball and it immediately ran right out the bottom of the pot even though the soil was bone dry. I've had the palm for over a month but am terrified to water it again without advice. Here are my specific questions: What kind of palm is this? What are these shells? Do the fronds look healthy/pest free? Should I transplant to a bigger pot? General care: light, water, misting Why did it almost die when I watered it? Thanks in advance everyone 😊
