My seedlings of beccariophoenix alfredii

Hi! This is my five seedlings of beccariophoenix alfredii. Seedlings have half a year.

Lovely. Good work. Beccariophoenix are fairly tough palms.

Thanks

Only 2 seedlings from my RPS order of Beccariophoenix alfredii survived the winter in my sunroom and are now outdoors in tree pots in partial shade. Despite fertilizer applications, they're looking a bit 'anemic' but still growing.

@Hillizard What is your subsoil? Because beccariophoenix I need clay-sandy. Position like sunny, but not direct rays to not burn the leaves.
Substrate: sand-clay, can be mixed with coconut fiber and necessarily with perlite or other soil loosener. The flowerpot should not be too big, because if the plant will have a large flowerpot, then it will focus on the roots, not the leaves.
Water so that the substrate is moist, but not wet. Check your finger to a depth of a few cm. Next watered until the soil is dry.
Fertilization: from March to October palm fertilizer every 2 weeks. Through autumn - winter every watering biohumus for palm trees.
Pests can appear, as with any exotic plant that likes moisture. If there are bow ties (Sciara militaris) I recommend a sticky one from tubes.
He likes the temperature of 20-25 Celsius. In hot weather, I spray the palms in the early morning or evening even 3 times a day, as they are + 35C. Below 20C, the plants not sprinkle water, because a fungus may be formed.

Thanks for taking the time to detail how you grow B. alfredii successfully.  Yours look very well-grown.  I may have to change the method(s) I use to keep mine growing and healthy. Please post updates on the progress of yours in a few months.
