Foxtails in good condition can take a few hours of 27F, but not one in the condition of yours.
Your palm is in need of greenhouse conditions to survive the winter.
I wish you the best of success!

I can't imagine the mites living in 28 deg anyway ... lol. That would have given me some time to get the necessary chemicals. Thank you for the 'Avid' advice. I had been using the 'Safer' product. I hope to never have another infestation. Right after I lopped it off, I corrected the conditions that brought it on, bought a humidifier and raised the humidity to 70 - 80 %, and spray a monsoon twice daily on top of that. Plants are happy, I'm happy. And I have another 2 years before it will reach 6 feet, so longer to enjoy it indoors.
