Thanks David for the infro just purchased & need more help on keep a life time

I have my palm tree in door by the window. It catches direct sun light for around 2 hrs a day. The tips have been getting yellow each day. Too much sun light? I water it once a week or when i feel the soil dried. Any advice?

[@shutcheson95]

Yellowing leaves usually means not enough water. They don’t like their soil to dry out, they like their soil to stay moist but not soggy

[@user-ed5hb4vw1d]

@@shutcheson95 Started watering it more frequent and it’s making a difference. Looking greener by the day. Thanks!

[@mrs.ivory-mixon7059]

I just bought one and the tips are turning yellowish brown

[@coltsfanudig]

Woman told me when I bought my two they need sunlight, she must didn't know what the hell she was talking about.

[@JEM.jeanbrown]

Thanks

[@BL-ut2zz]

thanks for the video? are these self cleaning or do old fronds require pruning?

[@TimberPied]

I live in Oakland Park, FL and have the cat palms outside and it has flowers at the base area... Do I cut them off? How do I care for my cat palm when they have saplings?

[@LifeCoachingWithDelarue]

Do they need larger pots?

[@shaneikaberryman10]

When I bought it it had sounder mites in the soil. What do you recommend to get rid of it

[@wesleyhackney]

What is cold tolerance of this plant. I live in Destin fl would it survive winter outside here

[@davidcasella2934]

Approximately 28 degrees for several hours! USDA Zone 9B!

[@spiritualbhakti1189]

Can I have it in complete shade indoors?? In very low light conditions, will it survive ??

[@EarthWorksJax]

It is your best option for shade/low light.

Awesome David! At first I thought it was a young Dypsis Lutescens!

[@paulamcknight8439]

I have an issue with the tips of mine turning brown. Any advice?

[@kiewannagonsalves282]

AWESOME…..STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!!!💄💋

[@dymondqueen1584]

Mine is turning brown in the tips of the leave any advice or help.. please and Thankyou

[@EarthWorksJax]

We recommend fertilization for both macro and micro nutrients required by palms that often aren't available in our soils. Southern Ag palm nutritional product is a good choice.

[@TheBossskinhead]

David you are the palm master!

[@glengullickson6538]

Just looked at a 3 gallon cat palm locally. Checking back with the business next week for a 7 gallon. Does $49.95-$59.95 sound right for a price on the 7 gallon? Thanks for the video

[@EarthWorksJax]

Sounds like a great price!

[@Lifeislifn365]

Thanks for the video David. Could you tell me is the bottom of my palm healthy? What is the brown stuff

[@LifeCoachingWithDelarue]

My cat palm has a white film on it. She has some brown/yellow tips Any ideas how to heal her?

[@XFT8]

This guy knows plants! Great info, thanks. Just bought one and didn't know any of this.

[@ryancurtis647]

Love the passion.

[@TheBreakingProgram]

Great Advice, Thank You!

[@raphlvlogs271]

are they easy to grow from seed?

[@davidcasella2934]

Yes, the seed must be ripe and fresh, given the adequate growing conditions. Soil rich and organic and soil temperature kept at 80 degrees or above!

[@CRAVEMedTV]

thanks for your professional opinion. you help us alot

[@queenswisdom3365]

Great information! Thank you! 🌹🐝

[@vineetnayak5269]

I have a cat palm indoor setting. How many times do I have to water it and use fertilizer

[@EarthWorksJax]

If you stick your finger into the pot, and your finger is dry up to your first knuckle, then it is time to water it. It can be fertilized monthly with houseplant fertilizer or all-purpose water soluble.

[@NasaLamode]

Great information

[@EarthWorksJax]

Thank you.

[@tmoney3781]

Hey David I just transplanted a 10 Pygmy tree .question is can I fertilize right away and spray insecticide on the same day?

[@slamrock17]

Great information.

[@EarthWorksJax]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jfuentes9188]

Go Jags!

[@mirandamiller5145]

Oh. Interesting. The air circulation, should I put a little fan in the same room as my palm? I get infestations of the bugs with the little webs. I hand wash and spray it and they are done but it happens more often than I’d like. lol Thanks for the info.

[@mirandamiller5145]

@@ursamajor6347 Perfect! Thank you for the ideas!!

[@tallulahtwosocks6214]

I have a row of these along my fence in the Lower Keys. The Cat’s are cleaner than eureka palms. Love them!

[@BL-ut2zz]

do yours require pruning of dead leaves?
