Malaysia Palm woes

[lalazargardner]

Hello everyone. In the last few months I had been noticing that my malaysia palm had started drooping. It was getting worse all the time. I tried straightening it by tying a rope to a pillar behind it, but the whole thing broke off very cleanly. now there are no leaves only a stump. Also I had noticed that the seeds from the seed pods were not growing in size as they used to. they are small and tend to fall off. Please help

it rotted..

[lalazargardner]

if you don't mind me asking Izhar Sb. what would have caused the rot and could I have prevented it?

[Izhar]

water logging and fungus attack in roots caused the rot... you could have prevented it by careful watering and drench of fungicide...

[lalazargardner]

is this something I should be doing on a regular basis? how frequently should i use fungicide? is it something that i should do with the palms even if they are in large pots?

[Izhar]

No, it depends on the condition... please post pictures of your palms...

[lalazargardner]

The seeds are not maturing and are falling off

[Izhar]

When you plant big palms, the leaves are kept tied together for two months....water must be given lavishly but only after completely drying of soil...
