It looks healthy right now, but I dunno how to take care of that certain plant since I don't know the name.. Hm...

Does your dad remember where he bought it or what type of palm it is? xp

Sunlight + Fertilizer ( that's POO) + Water every 2 or 3 days = nondead plants.


least that's what i was told.

a few handy tips from a hippie faggot:

a plant never has too much sunlight. it makes a big difference whether or not a plant is close to an unshadowed window.

watering is not much a matter of quantity as much as frequency. test the soil with a finger. when your fingertip doesn't get moist from touching the soil, it's time to water it.

you can buy for real cheap little pellets of fertilizer. they work really well and help your plants grow gorgeous!

If the usual sun, water or fertyliza doesn't make any changes - have you tried music? Plants often grow better with the right music in the background to help them grow ^^;

the right music would be rock. it's been proven by science. let your frail cannabis-looking plant have the hardcore metal it needs to grow!

murrnigga has it

many plants dont like to go from damp to dry constantly palms are one of those it stresses them and makes um sick
plenty of light keep it near a southern window
best rule of thumb put a finger in the soil if its moist your good getting a bit dry time to water soak it good drain out the excess and
leave it go on about its growing

You have no thumbs. :P

Also, those looks like some sweet plush snakes. That is all!

Oh wait.. that's a DJ Hero box sleeve! :O

Is Drakly a amateur little DJ? :P

Plant eeeet...maek it grow huuuuueg.

ALSO. Sniffie has a dog bowl in his tank.

It's the only bowl big enough I could find for him :P

OOH! I just thought of something! How old is the plant? Maybe it's rootbound! (e.g the pot is too small to contain all the roots.)

only a few months? ;_;

Well I didn't know how long it had been growing. Though it could be possible if the plant was put originally in a pot that was too small to begin with. YMMV.

Palms are tropical, so they like moist, humid environments. Water it once a week, and keep it in a pot with drainage holes on the bottom so you can set it in a dish full of rocks and water to help with the humidity. If you're keeping it in a low-light area, move it into bright sun for a couple hours every day.

Also if you're lazy or forgetful with watering, I'm pretty sure they make some kind of thingy you can stick in the soil that indicates when its dry and needs watering.

Your palm's looking worlds better than the one my mom has, at least. Poor thing got left outside a little too late in the season and we're not quite sure it survived the cold snap, lol.

+fav this comment.

Water it once a week, keep it in the sun, and if you can up the humidity.

it seriously looks like a dry plant, or a desert/beach type palm. palms don't need much care really. like bamboo they are pretty easy to not kill. lol. almost like weeds but nicer looking, lol.

how many times a day are you watering it. cause palms really only need to be watered like once a day an a palm that size would probably be fine with like.... 3-4 cups of water.

though the tips above may be true for alot of water-happy plants palms are not a type that need moist soil, they thrive in hot climates an direct sunlight. ^^ palms can survive happily in sandy soil or slightly dry soil. i still see alot of green so it's doing great! an don't be scared if you see brown on a palm, wiki some pcs of different palm types an you'll see it's really only the thicker leaf part that mostly holds any real green color...

trust me. take it from a person that was born an raised in florida.... surrounded by different palm types in different soil types an different climates. it's really hard to kill a palm ^^ it looks fine ^^

the tip about setting a seperate water catcher underneath with the holes in the bottom is a good an true tip. i didn't notice it at first but now i see it's just a regular pot. you need those holes to also give the roots some extra room to grow. an seeing where you said how old it was, if y ou can see the roots starting to seep out of the holes i mentioned then it's time to plant it ^^

do you know what kind it is? most palms need direct sun and a good watering once a month... i could help if i knew the type

Why won't the plant grow? CAUSE THE HOUSE IS FULL OF SNAKES!

It could be root-bound. Try transferring it to a bigger pot ^^
