# Got this madagascar palm about 2 years ago now… it’s obviously grown…

_Posted by katie on 2023-12-20_

Got this madagascar palm about 2 years ago now… it’s obviously grown a lot but has not been able to keep new leaves (except one). Ik it is winter now so it may be dormant for a while but any tips on how to make it healthier? Does it need repotted? Fertilizer? I just am not sure.

Agree low light

Lose that bright light in Winter unfortunately

I had to put these cacti right up high in the window, closest I could get them..

A grow light probably would be helpful 😁

It looks like the pot sz is good, unless you see many roots coming out the bottom drainage holes, it won’t need a repot.
