Spraying does little or nothing to raise the humidity for your plants. Your simplest option is to place your palm (saucer and all) on large trays filled with pebbles and water. Keep the water level maintained as it evaporates. Browned leaves and/or leaf margins will never grow back. I'd advise that you clip anything from your plant that does not look healthy.

For some reason, when I responded to your question, I was thinking "Majesty palm" (Ravenea rivularis).--I find the Latin names less confusing believe it or not. Christmas palm (Adonidia), has been a real challenge for me over the years. Currently, I have my Christmas palm in the basement (mostly under artificial lighting). Doing great! The secret? They are super tropical with respect to temps and have little tolerance for cool temps. Grow them in super fast draining soil (I have mine growing in a very sandy soil), They also have little tolerance of drought so don't let them dry out--mine is next to the shower. Also, watch for too much direct sun if the plant has been acclimated to it (sheer curtain would help here). Good luck!

Many thanks to everyone for your contributions and experiences. I got some pine mulch and put the 'fines' in the bottom. I bought two bags of the Miracle Grow blend for Cactus, Palms & Citrus. It is VERY light. I think everyone gave great advice. Going to try this and see how it GROWS. We grew them outside in the ground in California, but I was just a kid. Mother and Grannie just stuck them in the ground. As far as I know they never did anything else except "drip" water them with gray water the first season. After that, they were on their own. Our date palms were gigantic and the dates were yummy. There were several other varieties, but I don't know what the others were. I do recall that Grannie sprayed them with the hose from time to time to wash off the dust. They loved it. Having palms in the house makes me feel like I am home again. (Oh...those childhood memories). As for the size of the new pot, I got an emerald green ceramic Lotus pot and put it on a black wrought iron plant dolly with a clear plastic drip tray underneath. That will make it handy for moving when I clean the floors or rearrange things. The pot is about 4 inches bigger around in diameter, and in depth, it's about 1/3 deeper than the container it came in, so I think it is "joosta" - just right for the pot upgrade. The color is beautiful with the green palm fronds. One thing I did forget to ask, though. Should I cover the top of the soil with a little bit of the bark fines or the potting mix or both? I don't want to suffocate it since I know they need to breathe, but it does look a bit exposed on the surface. Thanks for your help, Palm lovers. ~Annie

The palms grew faster last year( coming from Florida and being outside during the summer). Now, it takes almost a year for one new frond to unfurl! I suppose they have adjusted to the indoor light. They seem crowded in that small nursery pot, so I do plan to transplant up in the slightly larger pot…and then never again…because it is too large to handle. What is the best time to transplant?
