Question
I watered my rhapis palm when you were here on Fri. and it is still drooping a bit
but not as much. Should I water it more now-Sun or wait? I don't want to drown
it but because it was kind of dry when you visited I wonder if it needs more. Soil
is still damp but not wet at all. Thanks  LIsa

Answer
Hi Lisa,

The fronds have bounced back as much as they are going to at this point. After being kept too dry for an extended period, leaves permanently lose some of their turgidity and never fully recover after that.

Water your Rhapis when the surface to top half-inch of soil dries out.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
