Hi,

I am fairly new to caring for a Bismarck palm. Recently, brown and black spots have formed on some of the fronds and can be kind of scratched off.  Negative spear pull test. Poured a little bit of hydrogen peroxide and had some fizzing. Otherwise seems fine. Any thoughts?

This palm needs full sun,hot and blasting,to survive. It will not do well as a houseplant.

Scott, I agree that they make poor houseplants! However, they don’t need full sun or much heat to grow. Mine here in the SF Bay Area gets very little direct sun and as you probably know, not a bunch of heat here either. Heat and sun will make them grow faster than mine of course.
