| Walmart had some sick looking pygmy date palms for $11.00. Being the sucker that I am I thought I would give one a try and put it in the greenhouse with the hopes of reviving it.
The leave are very dull green and limp looking. I repotted it in about a 2 fingers wider container, giving it a good watering afterwords. The palm is on a heat mat set at 70F for the root temp. On a good day it gets about 6 hours of sun and air temps no lower than 72F. Ive had it for a few days without improvements. Is it a goner or are there hopes. |
