    I have a Roebellenii palm that I have had for a bout 3 years.
    It stays in doors in the Winter and I have repotted it.
    No matter what I do the fonds/leaves are not a Lush green like they should be.
    I have bought some miracle grow and wonder if I should spray the leaves with it.
    Can anyone recommend something that will make it look nice again.

    You could try epsom salts, it takes a while to react though.
    You can get a plant tonic that contains a good few trace elements, might be worth a try.

      Maxicrop / some sort of seaweed concoction perhaps?

      And/or Rock Dust??

      or maybe even Palm Booster (there's another Palm one, I've forgotten then name though)

        Where is it situated ? It could be not enough or too much light, too dry? they should never dry out even in winter.
