Yesterday I picked up my potted Cyrtostachys Renda Hybrid from a friend who has been caring for it since April of 2024. 

This Palm had previously been in-ground, and was potted in April, to be cared for during an extended trip. 

The pot is from Home Depot and has a water reservoir at the base to keep the foot of the palm wet. It was potted with Miracle-Grow cactus, palm & citrus potting mix.

The palm was kept on a screened lanai in Southwest Florida, and has not been fertilized since April. 

The palm looked great at time of potting. I was shocked to see it yesterday. Looks sickly. 

Any thoughts or advice will be appreciated. Palm will now be on a 19th floor balcony in South Florida, with a westward exposure. 

Thanks in advance.

I trimmed the palm up a bit, cleaned up the base, and ordered a 2-pound bag of BGI 8-2-12. 
 

The France that had the most discoloration, I went ahead and trimmed.
