Royal Palms Dying from Overwatering

New Royal Palms Turning Brown: Too Much Water?

Five newly planted royal palms in sandy soil get 30 minutes of daily watering. They're browning, including new shoots. Nursery said no fertilizer for 30 days.

Diagnosis

Nick says 30 minutes daily is far too much—roots are saturated, causing rot. Cut back to 10 minutes every other day after letting roots dry. Most nurseries offer a 3-month guarantee; if they die, request replacement.
