    I need help with my Majesty palm I don't know what is wrong with it, I have fertilized it about 4 times a year with Dr Qs and it has green on the middle and light green on the outer on the fronds on the new growth pics are below. Also I have noticed what I think is a trunk, but I am not sure Pics are below any help is very apreciated I am thinking that it has some sort of diffeceincy but not sure what kind? I have had this palm for about 3 years and I hope not to lose it. Thank you in advance.

    Ravenea rivularis (Majesty palm) is proably one of the worst palms made available and sold for indoor use in Northern regions. It just doesn't lend itself well for most home use.

    Cheers, LPN.

    I know they are the worst palms to grow in pots next to the queen palms, but I thought I would try to beat the odds,lol I did have a hole nest of spider mites and I did spray for them and it did seem to perk up a little. I will eventually donate it to the college's Horticulture department. They have many palms growing in the ground there under a heated enclosure.

    Thank you all for the advice
