I purchased a Majesty palm tree, but didn't realize till after I repotted it, that it had lots of brown holes in some of the leaves.

Should I prune the damaged leaves or should I just return the tree for another one?

  • Was this plant outside? That looks like insect damage: https://www.google.com/search?q=grasshopper+damage+corn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=m9KJVN-COo2uyASAyIDgCg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=949&bih=500#tbm=isch&q=grasshopper+damage+palm – Wayfaring Stranger Dec 11 '14 at 17:25

  • Hi Joseph! Now that it's been a few months since you treated your plant, I'm wondering how it's doing. If you have a minute for an update, that would be great. I hope it's healthy and happy! – Sue Saddest Farewell TGO GL Apr 19 '15 at 21:08

    @Sue unfortunately I repotted this in a wrong soil and it just went downhill. I'm planning to get another one this summer – Joseph Wit Apr 23 '15 at 20:11
  • Hi Joseph-sorry it took me so long to reply! I'm sorry about the loss of this plant, and hope you got a new one and that it's doing well! – Sue Saddest Farewell TGO GL Nov 01 '15 at 20:10

Lowe's warranties their plants for one year from date of purchase. Go trade for another one. It's a gonner.
