Planting palms into pots that are 2" larger than existing pot. Use a well draining top soil.
Do not use Miracle Grow with palms!
Fertilizing: We use Palms NW Fertilizer Spikes with great success. Please see application chart below.
For both inside and outside juvenile palms, a great spot is an eastern exposure where they will be in the shade at about 2pm. This makes the trees reach for the sun and the fronds grow longer. This gives the trees more height but the trunks will grow as normal. Remember this, Palm trees in containers grow slower than Palms that are in the ground by about one third the rate.
