It ticks me off though that some deficiencies masquerade as something else.
And of course you can throw that list away if the pH is off too. 😐
AAAARGH!

I suppose we should now list WATER as a nutrient!
This Triangle Palm spear simply wouldn't open after lengthening for nearly SIX months 😯

After leaching all the palms in the bathtub to dilute toxic fertilizer levels (thanks Steve07), it pushed out really fast.

I've since discovered that one of the first symptoms of fertilizer toxicity is a slight "dimpling" or "bubbling" of petiole segments, usually at the tips.
This year old Wodyetia bifurcata shows it mid-leaf.
Needs increased watering to flush out the fertilizer.

Does this learning process ever end? :shaking2:
