Need Help With King Sago Patio Palm

Question

I bought this on clearance. The leaves were already yellowing, fading in color, stump very short. When I pull up some leaves, feels as if I could easily tear it off. Is planted in the ground. How can I save it, nurse it back to health?

Answer 1

It sounds like it either has root rot, crown rot or was so badly cared for at the store that it is dying. These articles will help you determine which it is and how to help it:
