Here are some pictures of a plant I've had for a little over a year that has been dying since I purchased it. I've also included pictures of the trouble areas so you can see what I'm battling. First off, I'm not sure it's a palm [I'm rather new at this whole plant thing], but process of elimination is telling me it is. I'd like to find out the name, so that I can save it. Any assistance provided would be greatly appreciated! =)
I'm thinking this might be a Majesty palm. Take a look at this site. Also click on Areca palm. http://www.showtimeflorist.com/Online/TallGreenPlants&Trees.htm At this site you might want to look at Kentia palm and the Majesty too. You can also click on 'previous' and 'next' for more pics to see if you can id it. http://www.amherstgreenhouses.com/gallery/tropical/f_thumbnails2.html If none of that helps, try these folks. http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/namegal/ Hope this helps, Newt
Thank you ! It's hard to tell - they both look very close, but they are healthy, so that totally throws me off =) I'll start there, and see what I come up with. Again, thank you!
You are very welcome! If it's a majesty palm, they don't do well as houseplants.

It's a parlor plam. They do quite well indoors. It doesn't look that bad to me. Try some fertilize (Dynomite 18-6-8 slow release) and keep it watered and make sure it gets some sunlight. Here's a healthy one.
