Majesty palms (Ravenea rivularis) are terrible indoor plants—high light needs, precise watering, extreme spider mite susceptibility. The first died from low light after repotting; the second will likely follow.
Don't reuse the soil—invisible pathogens persist. Use it outdoors instead. The worms (likely fungus gnat larvae) didn't kill the palm; the species' indoor unsuitability did.
Kentia, Rhapis, or Parlor palms tolerate indoor conditions far better. Majesty palms belong in greenhouses or tropical landscapes.
