Watering instructions need to be based on more info.
When was the palm planted?
Was it planted properly? i.e. with a tractor, never dropped, not pushed around to straighten after it was planted. Not slid in the hole out of the back of a trailer.
What does your soil core look like for the top 3 feet? All sand ? Clay 6 in. down? 2 feet down?
Was the tree planted with a water absorber.. Hydrogel or the like?
There are no 'pat' watering directions for palms in TV. If your 'expert' doesn't ask half of these questions before giving you precise watering instructions, they are guessing and no expert...well not about watering palms anyway.
