Looks like it has a fungus infection maybe its to wet and cool? They need to be very hot

They do like it hot and dry,they also prefer sandy soil,however,they are quite root tender,esp when small.If it ain't one thing,it's another with these,mine is brown from the cold this winter but is hanging in there,good luck with yours!

I replanted them about a week ago with small stones in the bottom of the pot for better drainage, put in soil that I added more sand to and wrapped bubble wrap around the pots to hold more heat while they are in the greenhouse...I'm thinking they got too cold too...I really hope they get going...We're going to start warming up starting this weekend into the upper 70's...I'll put them on the deck, in shade, then and when it stays 50' at night, I'll leave them out.

If they don't work, I'm sure I can find something palm "shrub" like to take their place.

Thanks for your help guys :)

I had some a sprouted from seed, but they almost immediately died for whatever reason. I'm gonna try again this summer. Good luck with yours!

I had a seedling before it was on the radiator for a year doing good and growing well until I moved it from the radiator to another spot in the house. Its stopped growing and eventually died

I'm sorry you lost it Mike...I want these SO bad to go out front with my other tropical plants...I cut the brown off on the fronds so we'll see what happens.

Maybe I should start some from seed??...Where can I get some seeds??...lol
