Majesty Palm problems

Give it a bright spot with mostly indirect light and, if possible, a little gentle filtered morning sun. Avoid harsh direct midday or afternoon sun, which can scorch fronds.

No. Keep the mix evenly moist but well-drained. Water when the surface begins to dry slightly, drain excess water, and do not let the full root ball become bone dry or remain waterlogged.

Yellowing can reflect overwatering, underwatering, weak light, low humidity, or a nutrient deficiency. Check soil moisture and drainage, light, and humidity before applying fertilizer.

The ASPCA lists Ravenea rivularis as non-toxic to cats and dogs (and horses). Chewing any plant may still cause stomach upset; safety for rabbits, birds, turtles, and tortoises is not established by that listing.

Majesty Palm prefers high; use a humidifier when indoor air is dry. Normal household humidity is usually fine.
