💡 Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the tips of my Majesty Palm turning brown?

Brown tips are almost always a humidity issue -- Majesty Palms demand high humidity (50%+). Indoor air, especially from heating and cooling, drops well below this. Run a humidifier nearby, place it on a pebble tray with water, or move it to a naturally more humid room like a bathroom.

How much light does a Majesty Palm need?

Majesty Palms thrive in bright indirect light but can tolerate medium light. Direct sun will scorch the fronds. A few feet back from a south or east-facing window with sheer curtains is ideal. They also appreciate some morning sun.

How often should I water a Majesty Palm?

Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top inch feels dry -- typically twice a week in summer and once a week in winter. Never let the soil dry out completely -- Majesty Palms are not drought-tolerant.

Why is my Majesty Palm turning yellow?

Yellow fronds usually indicate overwatering or underwatering. Check the soil: if it's soggy, reduce watering and check for root rot. If the soil is dry, increase watering frequency. Also ensure the pot drains well and no water sits in the saucer.
