Dypsis baronii rot?

Ever since this past winter I’ve been having issues with my baronii. I had to unfortunately do an unforeseen transplant due to a sewer lateral replacement last October. So that immediately put it at risk from winter. Then we had the coldest winter in at least the last decade. It frosted 6 or 7 times. A couple were really heavy, lowest was 27F, the other events were between 29-32F. Each time I had a frost cloth on and a loose string of lights around it. Outwardly it appeared fine. As leaves started emerging during spring I noticed areas of the leaf that quickly went necrotic upon emergence, other leaflets looked bleached out, about to die. This new spear has a lot of necrosis on part of it even though it’s barely started to emerge. When I noticed it this past weekend I got the peroxide and started treatment. Any thoughts/advice? Goner? Saveable?

Not going to lie, that doesn't look good, but you did what I would have done and put some peroxide down the crown shaft. Maybe go easy on the watering until you see it's growth rate pick up.

My guess the browning is from both the transplant and winter shock. However I bet it will recover. Try peroxide down the crown a few times over a few weeks. I would use fish emulsion also this summer to not over fertilize while it recovers. Keep moist and fed with the fish emulsion. Good luck

I have the worst luck with baronii. That definitely looks like it will be fine with some peroxide treatments.

Thanks Darold!! I’m happy to report the small baronii you gave me when I was over to visit is doing good in another protected spot I have it in. Also the ambositrae is also doing great. Both heavily protected this past winter. Hope this next one is a reprieve from the last one.
