Mountain Coconut help.

12 years ago

I have my tree inside because there is one in my yard with lethal yellowing. and I am gonna burn it soon but I got my tree inside and I got the AC at 70. The tree does not look very good and it is concerning. I have a photo. 2 of the fronds don't look very good and I don't know how to tell if it's healthy. I cant put it outside yet because of the tree with LY. any help would be appreciated.

It looks fine to me. That kind of damage to the fronds happens a lot when palms go inside because its drier indoors and darker too. How long has it been inside?

Once you take it outside, it will grow normally again, and it should remain healthy indoors once it gets used to its surroundings.

Good luck!

It has been inside for about 2 months. I water it berly at all. These don't need lots of water there seems to be bugs in the potting soil. tiny little fly like things. I have seen the leaves do what they are doing in the pics and the tree always dies so I am very concerned.
