PARLOUR PALM VERY PALE LEAVES

My parlour palm developed very pale faded leaves about two months ago . I noticed very fine cobwebs between the leaves so assumed it was spider mites . Sprayed with bug gun which seem to stop them ,but now it still has the same appearance of very pale colour . Any thoughts please ?

 

If its red spider mites I dont think an ordinary bug gun will sort them out.

The leaves will not go green after you have cleared it of RSM, you will have to wait for new leaves to form.
Creating a humid atmosphere helps up to a point.

Can you put the plant outside in a semi shaded area.

 

Parlour palms like a cool atmosphere and although your heating is probably off at the moment I would suggest moving it further away from the radiator. Also away from sunlight.

 

is there a red spider spray ? yes i can put plant outside , can that help ?

 

Its normally in the bathroom, with no direct sunlight and a cool room.

 

Thanks for your advice

 

There is, we were having a discussion about this in another thread entitled red spider on peach tree, I can't work out how to put links in using my phone.
Not sure it would be worth buying just for one plant though.

I'd put it outside in a shady place and spray it with water every day.

 

They are now outside in shade , I've also spayed with a mix of hydrogen peroxide and vinegar.

That should either kill or cure.

 

Not wishing to state the obvious - but has it been repotted recently? Compost only lasts weeks before you need to feed via the watering.

Nitrogen gives a good boost to yellow leaves - to green growth in general - just tried it on my laurel and it greened up in a week.

 

Thanks , i will give that a try also.

 

It has been fed regularly . just started putting coffee grounds solution on it , a source of nitrogen i hear ?
