The soil is plenty moist. Im running my drip irrigation In that pic i just let them dry out for a day or two. But they usually stay moist

They are severely damaged then,they should be growing right now.

I had a much smaller palm........

and although it looks alive it was living off stored food,this thing was dead and I didn't even know it,almost like someone dyed the leaves green.

Well

I just cannot believe they haven't started initiating some growth-obviously warm enough there.

My Trachys with spear-pull have all put out 3-6 leaves except the smaller Princeps which
just started to recover and even it has pushed up some damage and has a big healthy
spear raising up.

There has to be some root issue going on there.

When did you plant them and what did they look like then?
