Licuala Grandis replant advice


PJP

Recommended Posts

I was fortunate to have an opportunity to acquire these two 25G Licualas from a couple who were down sizing their collection.  They told me these were purchased from Fairchild's 32+ years ago as seedlings and have lived in pots their entire life.  I’m considering planting them in the ground in a well protected spot.  I’m also open to leaving them as pot growers.  I think I may need to pot up the one who is growing out the bottoms.  Looking for best advice on these two replant options.  Thanks

dont repot them they will just out root it again so why give yourself a pain in the neck of repotting all the time put it in the ground and it will grow HUGE

I have a couple of Grandis in pots here in NW Orlando, borderline zone 9b/9a.  I had 28F with frost and they did fine in an area protected by Queen canopy and near the house for some extra heat.  My best guess is that they saw around 30-32F with no frost.  These get full sun all day in the winter and are shaded by queen canopy in the summer.  If you don't see freezing temperatures I think they'd do fine in the ground, just protect them from peak afternoon sun hours in the summer.
