I am not sure if this has been posted in the correct area, but i have a problem with two of my palm plants.
I had created a garden feature in our back garden and also used at least three pygmy palm plants. Two of which were purchased from a well known DIY store.
The problem is we had a cold winter and the fronds look brown and dead. Nearly the whole plant all the way up and out looks dead. At the base it is still partially green. Can anyone tell me if these plants will grow back into full growth as we approach the summer. Also do i or should i prune every dead frond found or should i leave it?
One of my other pygmy palm plant did sort of go through the same cycle but it is starting to sprout new fronds should i also remove any old frond from that plant too.
I also read that these plants are very prone to infection and that if you cut the frond your cutters must be sterile. What is the correct way to cut the fronds from the plant.
Any help please.
Thank you in advance
