I have had this palm for over 10 years. I use to live in CA and she thrived there out on my balcony. Partial sun being watered only once a week. At least once a year, she would develop a new sprout at the base.
I moved to FL last year and she did get quite stressed during the move. However I got her in a new, large pot and she bounced back pretty quickly.
However, she doesn't seem as vibrant and full as she was in CA and has not developed any off-shoots. I am using Miracle Grow Tropical Potting soil mixed with Indoor Potting mix. I am not sure I have her potted correctly or using the proper soil. I no longer have outdoor balcony space so she is in my apartment, next to full length window but does get the fresh air and partial sun.
Should the base be deeper beneath the surface of the soil? Should I use different soil?
Also, I should have asked, what kind of palm exactly is it? I got her at Home Depot and have not been able to find this kind there, or anywhere, since.

Thank you!
