Transplant shock in Washingtonia?

Around two weeks ago I got a few washingtonia robusta and filifera. Since then the leaves seem to be yellowing, drying up and folding in. Is this transplant shock and how to I treat this?

Were these potted or did you dig them up from somewhere? Liquid seaweed emulsion is supposed to be good for transplant shock. Keep them watered but don't drown them.

Thanks for the reply. These palms were originally potted. I got them online.

If they were shipped then they would have been exposed to all kinds of conditons. Keep an eye on them and hope for the best. These are easy and fast from seeds so if they don't make it that may be the way to go.

I actually have a few that I have from from seed. Still pretty small though. Would triming any leaves or organic fertilizers help. I know you shouldn’t trimp palm leaves but could it help to curb the effects of transplant shock?
