Sick Pygmy palm

Question

I have a pygmy palm that I purchased a couple of weeks ago and planted in a large container with potting soil. I have kept is watered but not too much water, but the palm looks like it’s dying. It’s becoming very thin and drooping. What might I do to help it?

Answer 1

It sounds like your little palm is experiencing a bit of transplant shock. I hope its new container is only a size or two larger than the last. Make sure you don't overwater the plant, and that it has some sunlight and rich soil. It should perk up soon, but moving to a new residence can be traumatic. Here's a helpful article:
