    The Madagascar Palm – Pachypodium lamerii – is actually a succulent related to plumerias. The fact that your plant is showing signing of softening indicates it likely is suffering from root rot.

    In this case, it is not likely to survive. So sorry for this damage and the effects from the hurricanes.

    It is likely that the plant has also contracted an infection in the soil from this watering habit. I would suggest adding wettable sulfur and dolomitic lime to the soil, as well as letting the soil dry slightly before watering again.

    There are many things you can do. Neem oil can be really helpful, as long as it is not in a bright area when you apply this.

    You will only want to water when the top of the soil is almost completely dry. They are slightly drought tolerant but will not tolerate wet feet. Less is better in this case.

    There are a few causes, but the main one is overwatering. Only water once the soil is almost completely dry. Here is an article for more information on their care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/madagascar-palm/madagascar-palm-care.htm

    I am noticing quite a bit of fungus on the soil. This would indicate that the soil is remaining very wet for too long. There are many soil mixes for palms and plants similar to them. This will help you avoid any watering issues in the future.

    Make sure your container has plenty of drainage, and that you only water when the soil is almost completely dry on top.
