# Hi everyone! I’m new here and would love some advice on what soil I…

_Posted by TheNewPlanter on 2023-03-15_

Hi everyone! I’m new here and would love some advice on what soil I should be using to repot my new plants. I bought a majestica palm tree for  
My living room and I never repotted it and now it’s a bit under the weather with leaves browning and dry! Also need to get a good fertilize

Any advice for a new plant mom?

Thank you!!

They like fertile and well draining soil. So a potting soil mixed with coarse sand or pumice works great for it. You can use an all purpose fertiliser for it. Look for a balanced NPK which also includes micro nutrients.
