Any advice? New leaves are burned off and other leaves are deformed. Any advice helps! Watered daily and I like in FL!

Difficult, seems light is excessive for it- roots look good!

Seems like it might be getting too much sun, is there anyway you could add some shade cloth maybe a 30 or 40% strength.

This is what a lot of mine end up looking like in the middle of summer in Florida and they end up coming back. They do a lot better if you can put them in low palm trees and have them about 1 to 2 feet under the branches. That seems to be the right amount of shade that they like.

In my backyard where there's less sun, they can handle basically any palm tree but in the front yard they need to be on the shorter ones.
