Thanks to you all |
Too much water will cause the roots to rot. The soil around the roots can't be dry or soggy, but needs to be in-between. If you have them in pots, the best place to check the soil is in the holes at the bottom of the pot. If it is soggy, then it is not time to water.
If you are going to buy a specialty fertilizer, try a "Palm" food, rated something like 8-4-8. A "Rose" food rated 12-5-10 would also be good. Follow the directions on the package.
