About Majesty Palm
The majesty palm earns its name, growing over 100 feet tall in its native Madagascar. There they grow along riverbanks and lagoons, but indoors they bring an air of the tropics to any space. Though popular as a houseplant, they are considered near threatened in the wild with only 900 individuals remaining. 🌴

How to fertilize Majesty Palm
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Majesty Palm after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Care tips So guys I'm on a plant journey and eta just say. I do not have the touch yet. I had to snip a two branches coz we'll they were dead. Just learned that I need to water this bad boy every 7-10 days or when it's looks thirsty. Does this plant get more thirsty during winter? #newgrowth

I just received my new palm last week and the fronds are turning brown. I ensured there are holes for drainage. I had it near an East facing window. When the fro started to turn, I moved it about 5 ft from the same East facing window. Any suggestions?

Likes lots of humility and moist soil! Old leaves will drop as new ones grow. Mine started to thrive when I put it right over a humidifier. A little tricky to care for as the leaves will brown if overwatered or too much sun.

A hearty plant the that takes a wide amount of space. I find it is happiest close to a window.

I bought Neil via the Internet and he arrived in mediocre shape with a lot of crushed leaves and one stalk. He looked like he was making a decent recovery until my two usually well-mannered puppies dug him up out of the pot. It was a disaster and all but one stalk was damaged. Upon pruning the destroyed parts, I discovered he had small white webs forming everywhere. I washed him all over lightly with a very diluted dish soap. He is hanging in there and I’m shocked at how resilient he is. It’s going to be a long road but I’m hoping to help him recover and flourish.

Grows best with consistent bright light (shaded if direct) and prefers 50% or more ambient humidity to thrive! 🥰

I keep a humidifier nearby for it and try to give it as much sun as possible. It’s growing well and browning less but without enough water and humidity the tips will brown and dry out.

You have to baby this plant if you really want it to grow and you’ll buy it when your poor thinking it’ll be easy to do but it need to be repotted so bad and the next size up is wayyyy out of your price range everywhere you go

It creates so much volume it’s an amazing statement piece. Figuring out the watering schedule was a little tricky but observing and making sure pests in the soil are taken care of can really help out. I recommend it but do a little research first

It can survive inside or outside, we kept it all year and it was still doing fairly well!
