# Hello plant lovers, This palm traveled in a car on a car transporter…

_Posted by OrchidG on 2025-09-10_

Hello plant lovers,  
This palm traveled in a car on a car transporter for five days. I thought it might survive but alas as you can see the leaves are pretty liveless. I am trying to bring it back. I have been watering it occasionally for a month and now I see little green sprouts in the lower bottom of the stems.  
It's seems to be coming back. How do I keep that going? Should I cut the tops off? 💚🌱

OH MY GOSH thats so amazing!! I wouldn't do anything until that little guy gets bigger. That is so awesome! It just goes to show you that even when they look dead there can still be life in there. I love that. I would have thrown it away a month ago. So glad you didn't!
