Majesty Palm Repotting 101: Everything You Need to Know and Do
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so I’ve got this majesty palm, right? It’s been sitting pretty in my living room for a while now, but I noticed it was starting to look a bit cramped in its pot. I mean, these things are supposed to get big and majestic, and mine was looking, well, not so majestic anymore. So, I decided it was time for a repotting adventure.

First, I did a little digging around and figured out that you’re supposed to repot these palms every couple of years. Mine was definitely due. I could tell because the roots were starting to peek out of the drainage holes, and the poor thing just seemed kind of stuck. And let me tell you when I touched those roots, some were soft and smelled funky. Ew!

Majesty Palm Repotting 101: Everything You Need to Know and Do

So, I gathered my supplies. I got a new pot that was a few inches bigger than the old one. I read somewhere that you don’t want to go too big too fast, or the palm can get stressed. And because the palm is a bit too heavy, I selected a heavy ceramic pot so it won’t easily tip over. You know these palms can get top-heavy. Also, I picked up some fresh potting mix. Oh, and I made sure I had some gloves because I didn’t want to get my hands all dirty.

Now, for the fun part. I started by giving my palm a good watering the day before. This made it easier to slide it out of the old pot. Then, when it was time, I gently laid the palm on its side and gave the pot a few taps. It took a little wiggling, but the whole root ball eventually slid right out. Phew!

Once it was out, I took a good look at the roots. I trimmed away any that looked dead or mushy, just like I read you’re supposed to do. Then, I loosened up the root ball a bit with my fingers, so the roots could spread out in the new pot.

  • Next, I put some fresh potting mix in the bottom of the new pot, just enough so that the top of the root ball would sit about an inch below the rim of the pot.
  • Then, I carefully placed my palm in the center of the new pot and started filling in around the root ball with more potting mix.
  • I made sure to firm it down gently as I went, so there weren’t any big air pockets.

Once the pot was full, I gave my palm a good watering until I saw water draining out of the bottom. And that was it! My majesty palm had a new home.

It’s been a few weeks now, and my palm seems to be loving its new pot. It’s already started to perk up, and I swear it’s grown a few inches. I’ve noticed some of the leaves were turning brown or yellow before repotting, and I think it’s because I overwatered it before. I’ll make sure to water it less this time. I’m feeling pretty proud of myself for giving my plant a new lease on life. Plus, it looks way more impressive in its new pot. If you’ve got a majesty palm that’s looking a little sad, don’t be afraid to give repotting a try. It’s really not that hard, and your plant will thank you for it!
