Help! I’m new to this. My Chinese Windmill Palm Tree has brown tips. I’ve only had it 2 weeks. What should I do? I have it outside. Gets direct sun maybe 5 hrs a day. #palmtree

Can I put my palm in direct sun? I want to plant it next to pool. There is no shade. Winter is low of 25F and summer is high of 95F. If I water it everyday or every other will it help the plant not burn, or will it thrive in my weather? #ChineseWindmillPalm

Is it normal to have brown netting (like fishnet very small) around plant stem base on otherwise healthy plant?

I’ve never grown any type of palm. Does this look healthy? Need more sun? Less water? It was in the ground during several days of freeze but covered well so it could just be damage from the crazy TX winter. Thank you in advance. #ChineseWindmillPalm
