    This miniature date palm was donated recently for me to revive and sell for charity . It has clearly been neglected. I have repotted . Is there anything else I should do now before new shoots in spring eg cut off brown stems ?

      You could certainly remove the dead stems and place it where it can get more natural light over winter.

        It looks frosted to me, or possibly been allowed to dry right out at some point.

        I dont want to be negative, but I will, that has a long road to recovery, if it ever does.
