Transplanted Cuban Royal Palm

Hi, someone was getting rid of this beautiful palm tree so I offered to take it. I uprooted it from their garden (clay type soil) and transplanted it into mine (sandy soil). A lot of the roots broke when being uprooted. All this happened on 20 Feb 2021 so it’ll be 1 month in 2 days. I was told to water it a lot and also to feed a seaweed solution that encourages root growth so I’ve been doing that. I’ll add a picture at transplant and one of today. I also removed the outer leaves at transplant. There’s only 4 leaves left and a new shoot. I’m wondering if I should trim another two outer leaves and leave only two and the new shoot. Would that help the tree recover? How else can I help it recover?

Hi Valentin D. Welcome to Palmtalk.

That's not a royal palm but an Archontophoenix alexandrae (Alexander palm). Normally these do not transplant well, but you can keep these wet and they won't mind at all. What you are doing is fine. Keep it wet and feed it with fish and seaweed emulsion. The rest is up to the palm.

Thanks so much Tyron. Wow I thought it was a Royal as that’s what my plant identifier app said. Thanks for letting me know!

They’re not clothe lines. They’re ropes to hold the tree 

You don't know me very well do you? It's called "tongue-in-cheek".
