Q.My Indoor Majesty Palm Tree Is Leaning To One Side, Not Dropping?

Zone 11572 | lizandra724 added on June 6, 2020 | Answered

I’m wondering if I need to repot? I purchased fairly recently, about 2 months ago from Costa Farms on Amazon. It almost looks like her stem isn’t directly in the middle of the pot but to the side. She is currently in an 11″ plater, so I’m thinking perhaps I need to go to a 15″. Also I haven’t given for fertilizer yet, but I read it is best to do late spring early summer, which is now. Thank You for your assistance.

If you repot, it's best to go up only one or two sizes to prevent over watering (the excess soil holds more water than needed, leading to root rot).

When repotting, you can center the stalks better. However, there may be some reaching for the light going on too. Make sure you rotate the pot so all sides of the palm get light. Be sure the pot has several drainage holes and the plant does not sit in excess water.
