I really appreciate your insight and expertise!!
It makes me feel better as someone that has never struggled to care for plants to know that I haven't suddenly gotten a brown thumb!
I never expected such a swift change in the plants from looking ok to terrible in the first two... Or I certainly would have been monitoring them more closely!
The second set I was checking daily and then every couple, then let the six or seven days go by thinking they were ok when I discovered they were quickly taking a turn.
It has been very discouraging to get the finger pointing in my direction over the past few weeks so thanks again for alleviating some of that pressure! Now that the palms have been purchased and we cannot return them I guess the next best thing to do is try to keep them as healthy as I can given the circumstances. The distributor is the one that suggested these palms in the first place for the location so it seems they would have some obligation to take them back... But I have not really seen the best results so far...
