What more can I do to help ? I found this plant in the garbage at my apartment complex some time back. She seemed to have been overwatered and squeezed into a small pot, she was also bluntly cut at random areas. We switched her pot to a bigger one that had drainage and she started sprouting!!! We give her water every 3rd day. I was wondering if I should take off any of her dying leaves ? Or really I’ll take any advice you guys may have for me. Also I’m not even sure what kind of plant she is or how much sun she needs (my balcony is mostly shady but her area gets about 6 hrs of sun) My friend also mentioned her damaged leaves could “infect” the other ones so I wanna make sure I do everything right, I was never a plant mom so I’m not familiar with plants. She’s my first real one and I’m excited she’s already sprouting new leaves so I wanna make sure I keep her healthy. Thanks in advanced!

    I’m not familiar with palms, but I was looking in Planta and I’m wondering if it is a parlor palm. If so, her preferred lighting would be part sun/part shade, and medium water needs, meaning watering when the top 2 inches of soil are dry, and of course, regular fertilization. If you’re on the Planta site, just search palms, and you’ll see a variety of palms there. That way you can see for yourself if she is a parlor palm or something else. But I would definitely trim off anything dead; anything that’s brown isn’t useful for photosynthesis, you know getting fed. Many people in the group will come to your rescue and give you lots of info, so I think I was just the first to see it and have just a bit to offer. Good luck! 😊💚🪴
