I bought a Bismarckia nobilis. It seemed blue green when purchased now it’s definitely green, not the blue I wanted .

Can I add something, a nutrient to the container to help it go back to blue?
It’s on an open balcony facing west in Florida , but doing well otherwise ..

They are normally silvery green, but yours doesn't look that color either. They need the nutrients potassium, magnesium and boron, so a soil test may be in order. These plants can grow up to 60 feet if planted.
