hi I bought a big pot that's twice the size and it took 4 bags of compost that's john Innes and multipurpose that I mixed 50\50 and also some clay soil that came in the original pot now the question is can I keep this palm potted for a long time,and will it continue to grow while in that pot.i plan on buying some mulch to retain heat for spring and summer and nought some palm booster and palm focus to use every week.but what I want off this palm is to get the leaves dark green bigger.advice needed

You can keep it for many many years in a container (cf. photo below). I would prefer as soil mix pure mineral one, you don’t need to add any organic matter.
