Hi Guys,
I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on how to take better care of my cardboard palm. I bought it about a month ago from a local plant store. When I purchased it, it had a thick coat of green pesticide on the leaves. The assistant at the store told me the plant came from Mexico and had to be sprayed before it entered the U.S. When I got it home I took a damp paper towel and did my best to remove it. I placed it in direct sunlight and water it about once a week. The leaves on the lower branches started to turn yellow, got very dry and then began falling off after the first week. Now the second tier of branches on the bottom is doing the same thing. What should I do? Am I watering wrong or have it in too much light? I attached a few photos if that helps. Thank you!
