"Restart" a palm?

10 years ago

I have an indoor majesty palm that has pretty much completely succumbed to a spider mite infestation, and improper watering by me (it's my first big plant, I both over- and under-watered it). It's turning yellow/brown pretty quickly and will probably be dead soon if I don't do something. My question is, is there a way you can cut down ALL of the fronds, or something like that, and "restart" your palm?


I've done something like this once before with a gloxinia, which all but died from excessive humidity during transport, but I was able to save it by cutting it down completely, letting it totally dry out, and now she's doing great, already has new buds in bloom! It would be great to do this with the palm...
