hi i dont know what happened to bob my parlor palm could ...

0ft to light, indirect

2β pot with drainage

Last watered 1 month ago
Could you take a closer photo of the leaves? These guys are quite susceptible to spider mites - happened with a few of mine and itβs been a nightmare to manage because of all the nooks and crannies the palms have at the base of their stems and the nature of their leaves. If you hit βreplyβ below, I will get a notification that you responded and can help you problem solve further. What did you spray it with by the way?
@WelsomeRhodotus hi thank u sm for replying , i just sprayed it with plain water like a week ago bc i saw on some site that it helps bc these guys like humidity and do u lnow how i can fix this or is there no hope π
@SvelteKingfern thank u do u know how i could go about fixing it?
@WelsomeRhodotus another pic, the tip is green like it used to be and whatevers happening is starting from the stem i think
@capyscara thanks for your photos but Iβm having trouble properly seeing the leaves as itβs all a little blurry. Could you try in daylight please? If itβs powdery mildew indeed, you could certainly try using sterilised snips to cut off the fronds that have been affected and then spray with a fungicide such as copper fungicide. You would have to respray weekly for a few weeks but not sure how much hope there if most of the front are affected. Spraying with water is pointless imo and I never do it. When you spray you increase humidity for as long as the water is on the leaves but it evaporates quickly and goes back to your ambient humidity. Plants donβt enjoy those sorts of fluctuations much and also water sitting on your leaves like that is more likely to lead to fungal issues. A better way to increase humidity is to cluster your plants together though of course in cases where things start to go wrong such as fungal problems or pests, that plant should be quarantined away from others to avoid spreading any nasties to other plants. Could you tell me if you see any webs on the leaves? If itβs not powdery mildew, itβs definitely spider mites.
@WelsomeRhodotus i dont see any webs so its probably the mildew huhπ ill try the fungicide and update you if bob gets better :c tysm for replying again it really helped im a plant noob and clueless about this stuff
@SvelteKingfern rip bob π thank you anyway for the help
@capyscara Aaw sorry to hear. Best of luck the next time around and since itβs fungus, make sure you throw out the soil you used for this palm and donβt reuse it for your next plant πΏ
I agree with @SvelteKingfern never, ever mist. I say it all the time. This is why. You can treat it easily and cheaply with diluted peroxide.
1 part hydrogen peroxide + 8 parts water
Be very thorough!
Then flush the soil twice with
1 part peroxide + 3 parts water π¦
Same peroxide we use on ourselves cheap and effective.
I must add please stop misting, it does not even add humidity it just causes fungal issues π’
