Why does my acrea palm look yellow?? Need more water?

I've been slowly but surely working on my little yard. Struggling to un-pot the aloe and snake plants, I gave my hands a rest. I've planted the palm, grasses and somethig that looks like it died already. I put in fence along the patio and in front to go around the hitch but I think it needs to be moved closer.

If you just moved your Areca palm, Pat, it may be going through transplant shock. And, if you did, it also has much higher than normal water needs. But palms also need special palm fertilizer to get the micro nutrients they need to thrive. Regular fertilizer does not supply them.

Thank you Douglas. I planted it a couple of weeks ago. I'll get to feeding and watering.
