Majesty palm care: how often should you prune your plant?
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, here’s my blog post about pruning my Majesty Palm, written in a casual, personal style:

Alright, so my Majesty Palm was starting to look, well, a little less than majestic. You know, a few brown fronds, a bit crowded, kinda losing its shape. I knew it was time for a trim, but honestly, I was a little nervous. I didn’t wanna mess it up! But, I grabbed my tools and decided to just go for it.

Majesty palm care: how often should you prune your plant?

First things first, I gathered my supplies. I got some:

  • Sharp pruning shears. Important – they gotta be sharp, otherwise you’ll be crushing instead of cutting.
  • A spray bottle with water. I read somewhere that spritzing the fronds before cutting helps, so, why not?
  • A trash bag for the cuttings.
  • Gloves, because sometimes those frond edges can be a little scratchy.

The Pruning Process

I started by carefully inspecting the palm. I looked for any fronds that were completely brown or yellow. Those were the first to go. I also looked for any that were broken or bent. No point in keeping those around, right?

Then, I took a deep breath and made the first cut. I cut the frond as close to the main stem as I could without actually cutting into the stem. I’m not a plant expert, just a regular person, you know? So I was careful.

I spritzed the frond with a bit of water, then snipped. It was actually easier than I thought! The shears went right through.

I continued this process, working my way around the palm. I took my time, stepping back every few cuts to see how it looked. I didn’t want to get carried away and end up with a bald palm! It’s all about balance.

There were a couple of fronds that were only partially brown. For those, I just trimmed off the brown parts, following the natural shape of the leaf. Made it look much neater.

After I was done with the obvious dead or damaged fronds, I looked at the overall shape. There were a few healthy fronds that were just kind of sticking out and making the whole thing look messy. So, I selectively pruned those as well, always cutting close to the stem.

Finally, I cleaned up. I gathered all the cuttings and tossed them in the trash bag. I also wiped down the shears. I was done! I just give my newly-pruned a regular watering and that’s it.

Honestly, it was way easier than I expected. And my Majesty Palm looks SO much better now! It’s like it got a fresh haircut. It’s more open, more balanced, and just generally happier. I’m happy too. If I can do it, you totally can too!
