molokai palm tree

19 years ago

Hey guys i ordered these pritchardias off a guy on ebay his plants are usually good , however these just declined.. they were about 10 in tall i put them in my soil solution i always use, the miracle grow and sand i'm thinking maybe they was grown in a green house and the sun did them in however i even moved these in , then put them in a partly shady condition . nothing worked.. was it something i done or was they doomed from the start ?

Its always best to put a palm in partial shade when you first buy them. Its hard to say what caused it for sure. Did they burn or dry up ? if they just dried up even though you watered them properly then I would say they went into shock either from the shipping or before.

Mr. Topher - thats happened to me before also. I'm guessing that if you've ever bought a plant on line and had it shipped to you, you've experienced this. Oh well, look at the bright side, you've got another pot to put something in. LOL.
