Indoor Majesty Palm woes #679110

Expert Response
Majesty palms (Ravenea rivularis) are slow growing tropical plants (trees actually, growing up to 90 feet) native to Madagascar and aren't easy to keep happy and thriving in our climate, especially in our dim winter light and very dry, forced heated air.
Most palms only produce one to three new fronds a year. Whether your remaining growth continues depends on whether the growing point (terminal bud) from which all leaves rise is still healthy. If it is damaged, the plant will eventually die.
Right now, it looks like it has a fighting chance. The green is needed for the plant to be able to photosynthesize.
It should be given the brightest light you can give it, including 3 hours of direct sun if you can manage that.
At this time of year the palm is resting and need less water and no fertilizer than the brighter, warmer active growth period of summer. Try standing it in a saucer/tray of moist pebbles to increase humidity.
Good luck.
