Mark (PA): Madagascar palm (~14") hates sun. Blogs say full sun. New leaves crinkle/die in hours of sun. Inside better. Waters weekly. Asks: problem?
Kathy: overwatering. Drain basin must empty in 15 min or rots. Sometimes weeks between waterings (FL, 80s).
Madagascar palm (Pachypodium) is a succulent, not a true palm. "Full sun" tolerance requires perfect drainage and minimal water. Weekly watering in PA (lower light) = rot. Crinkling = root dysfunction from excess moisture.
