Lowes palm and Hibiscus...does work..
I fergets the name but its sold at Lowes and Home Depot..not cheap in small amounts,hard to find in big discount bags north of L.A.. And will give Hibiscus that deep green better than anything else i have tried for them..
Also good are bat guano(no joke) based ferts..the stuff really works on ferns great also...third is cottonseed and organic ferts..with iron and magnesium.

Comes in a small box. The other brand in a zip lock bag is almost as good. turf majic did a fine job greening up a Howea growing outdoors..just takes alot of it.
Anyway's looked in my bin of fertilizer to find the name...

I've only been using it for a year, but my palms seem to like GrowMore Palm Food, which claims to have various micronutrients geared to palms. Also "contains Yucca Extract!"
You can find it in stores or at www.growmore.com
