Majesty Palm finally thriving — the one thing that changed everything

I nearly gave up on Majesty Palm after three months of mediocre results. Then I focused properly on planting in free-draining soil to prevent crown rot and within a few weeks the difference was dramatic.

It now lives in a sheltered sunny courtyard or walled garden and has genuinely transformed that spot. long-lived structure that becomes more impressive over decades is even more impressive in person than I expected from photos. best planting and repotting in late spring as soil warms was spectacular — worth every bit of patience. If you're struggling with yours, planting in free-draining soil to prevent crown rot is almost certainly the issue.
