Ok, well, I water the palm with a fluid fertilizer called "Substral", I don't know weather it's a danish product or not. I haven't used it that much since spring has only just started.

@cstart
You may be right, the pot probably is too small. I'll re-pot it into to something larger.

I have read the beginners guide. My english is ok, but I can't figure out what I should do about the soil anyway, it's just not clear to me after I have read it. Can you maybe break down to me exactly how I can give my plants the best soil.

What I do now is I buy soil suitable for plants at the store, fill the buttom with 1 inch og leca and plant the plant. I thought, next time I will try and add perlite, but from what I have read, that doesn't have much effect.

I am eager to know how I mix the best soil for my plant, but again, I do not understand the beginners guide fully.

Thanks in advance...
