I need help to identify what is going on with these Majesty Palms. I was gone over the weekend and came home to these leaves.

Majesty palms like constantly moist soil & because they are fast growing they will quickly drain the soil in pots of nutrients. Are these newly purchased? If so they may not have been properly acclimatised to the sun & that can bleach/scorch the fronds too. The other damage looks like it has been caused by wind/insect damage. Grasshoppers can much away on palm fronds, another possibility is that the already damaged fronds were raided by birds for nesting material...

I would water & feed them well & keep saucers under the pots so they never completely dry out. They will quickly grow nice new fronds...

Thank you very much! They are new to this house, so I thought maybe I was doing something wrong. Should I cut the bad ones off?
