th102 now is not the ideal time to prune your tree. Having said that. It will still leaf out and produce fruit if you prune it now. The longer you wait the more sap will be flowing thought the tree and the tree will lose more of its energy due to losing more sap. Keep in mind that pruning while the tree is no longer dormant will be a shock to the tree. Thus it will likely appear to stop the active growing process for 1-3 weeks. Your fruiting and ripening cycle this season will also likely be delayed/slowed by roughly the same amount of time.

Majesty palms are definitely not the best indoor palms. They can do well though depending on how they are grown prior to purchase (sometimes they are grown out in so much shade to make them appear bigger that they actually are very weak and do terrible after you buy them). I've had luck with them indoors by keeping them very moist, but I only keep mine indoors for the winter, I don't know how they would handle being indoors all year long. -Alex

Firstly it's not a palm, not even close. It's Dracaena marginata (more closely related to asparagus than to palms). But they should put out new shoots from those stems. You need to be sure the soil drains fast and doesn't stay too soggy. Don't over water, let it dry out a bit between waterings. You can push a wooden dowel down into the soil to check how wet it is deeper down. They like a lot of light, but ease them into direct sun if they've been growing in shade. The broken off branches can be used as cuttings, they strike quite easily.

Hello, I inherited my Parlour Palm a little while ago and he means so much to me. But he is really sick and I don't know what to do. He is about 4 years old and up until 3 weeks ago was in the same pot the whole time. He was a really healthy plant until recently, he even flowered and is always growing. However a few months ago he started to look unwell and got mealy bugs - which after a long battle they seem to have gone now. Then about 6 weeks ago he started to look quite unwell. His leaves were drooping with the tips drying up and become yellow. Some of the leaves curling. But he was still growing 2 new fronds at the same time. When I took him out of his old pot, I realised that his roots had grown though the drainage holes and were blocking them, so his bottom soil was really wet - I know this is a big problem for root rot. But I had hoped that by putting him in a new pot, with fresh new soil it would help him recover. For a little while he seemed ok, but now he is worse than ever. The majority of his fronds are drying up significantly and dying, with others appears in strange lighter colour spots - as if he's losing his colour. He now has 3 new fronds growing, but in the past week he has gone down hill quickly and I think they've stopped growing. I can't see any insects or pests, he lives near the brightest window in the house though as it's winter there's not a lot of light lately. As I was over watering him I've cut back but I'm really now sure if I' over watering, under watering, or if it's a different issue entirely. I've also found this small white spot on him. I would be so grateful for any advice or help - my plant is so important to me and I would be devastated if he died. Thank you
