Hey people not sure what’s wrong with my palm tree. I just repotted it so maybe that’s the problem but the leaves are turning yellor and it’s never really been in good condition😬🫣

Is it a majesty palm?

Hey! No pro here, but my Ms was doing the same and now she’s perky. Palm leaves turn yellow if the soil is lacking essential nutrients.  
What’s your soil mix like?  
How do you water? -Over or under?  
\& how often?  
Does it get more sun by any chance?

Idk what kinda soil it really is but it’s just the normal kinda as far as I’m concerned. I had it outside for a few weeks but brought it back in cause it looked pretty sad. I water it according to the Planta schedule.

🫣 looks like it’s either getting too much sun and over watering. Mine did look like that, so I changed her to a cactus soil as she still sits pretty outside in a shaded area. I did also put it in a smaller pot to be able to put her in a bucket of water for watering. Good Luck!!! 👍🏽  
Also, don’t always listen to Planta, sometimes my soul is still wet looking on top so I skip.

You probably want to replant that with Succulent and palm soil because the soil that the Majesty Palm should be in is a mixture of peat moss, and tree bark and stuff like that I just got a Majesty Palm that I rescued from Lowe’s and had to order the correct potting mix and mine is no longer yellowing or droopy

#### Kerby\_elayne antwoordde op 2023-07-23

I’ll have to try that

Thanks

Adding to all the comments above, I would recommend choose smaller pot, only a little bit bigger than root system, to prevent water sitting in the soil and causing the root rotting
