Anyone know what I'm doing wrong with this palm? I water her when she's dry, I fertilize her when I'm told, I mist her when I'm supposed to. But I'm having to cut off dry crispy leaves every few days? I don't want her to die but it seems like she's inching closer and closer every day

It might be getting the wrong amount of light and humidity

I recently purchased one and it had thripes! I sprayed it twice after cutting the dead dried parts and put a plug in insect trap seems to be getting better

Is there any way to know if that is the case? Can they be seen on the leaves or anywhere?

### Peace \& Joy commented on 2025-07-09

Yes u can see black spots I used the diagnostic tool on the app and that’s what came up with

Also it was a new plant and u want to separate it from any other plants
