Watering

Majesty Palm soil should be kept evenly moist with proper drainage. Overwatering will cause the roots to decompose; however, too little water will cause the plant to dry out. Daily misting will help maintain a comfortable humidity level for the plant.

Spider mites are a common enemy to the Majesty Palm. Misting the plant with a soapy water solution twice a day should rid the plant of these pests; however, if you prefer, a commercial spray from the local gardening store will do the trick.
