Fertilizing Majesty Palms: Less Is More

Majesty palms (Ravenea rivularis) aren't heavy feeders. Any balanced fertilizer works, but apply it at one‑third the label rate. If using a liquid formula, dilute it to one part fertilizer to two parts distilled water. Over‑fertilizing leads to salt buildup and brown leaf tips.

Water thoroughly when the top half‑inch of soil feels dry, and provide bright, indirect light. Keep the palm in a relatively small pot to avoid waterlogged soil.
