• My date palm is not happy.

    It flourished in that spot for many years. Then the cats attacked it a bit and it hasn't recovered. I've tried watering less, watering more, topped up the soil a bit, fed it a tiny bit. But it's looking worse, not better. It was glorious a couple of years ago. Not sure what to do and would really like to save it from terminal decline.

  • Try the app ‘planta’ to get correct watering reminders and other tips. I can share no more knowledge than that though.

  • Could it be potbound? Repot into fresh compost, with a root haircut? No idea if this is good for date palms but it has worked wonders for other large houseplants.
