How to bring potted Palms back to life?

 

Hi guys.  It seems Palms are a much covered topic here.  

I have these 3 little guys on my front porch, as you can see they’ve browned and dried out some degree. 2 are Cocos Palms and 1 a Kentia. 

Having spoken to a Gardner a local nursery, I’ve determined that my lightly running a watering can over them every other day is probably the culprit as it’s too little water too frequently. 

So now that I can address that, give them a good soaking probably twice a week, can they be brought back?  Or it best to simply cut off the browned leaves/fronds so the healthy part of the plants can recover?

 

Cheers. 



While we’re at it, what will keep these two Golden Canes, pictured at the bottom, happy that will eventually be planted in the backyard once they’ve been adjusted to sun?

Hi @Steveyb1990,

 

The Bunnings guide How to grow and care for palm trees should be very helpful for you. I note the watering recommendation is "usually once per week".
