Indications of Cold Conditions for King palm

Symptoms

King palm favors warm climates and cannot withstand low temperatures. It flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 50℉. Should the temperature drop below 40℉, its foliage might lose some color. Following frost damage, the leaves progressively turn brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping can appear.

Solutions

Remove the sections affected by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting for protection from the cold. Select a location near a south-facing window for the plant, ensuring abundant light. Furthermore, avoid positioning the plant close to heating units or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.

In summer, King palm should be kept below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the foliage's hue lightens, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.

Solutions

Prune off the sun-scorched and desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to an area offering shelter from the intense midday and afternoon sun. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
