Hey yall! 

I germinated some trachycarpus fortunei and washingtonia robusta 1-2 years ago. I live in Montana so I potted them to bring them indoors during the winter. I've noticed they tend to burn and the fronds crisp in direct sunlight here. They get plenty of water and right now I have them in the shade where they recover.  Are they just too young for full direct sun at this stage? Are the roots getting too hot in the pots? What's strange is last year I had the WB out in full sun and they were doing great, but this year they get damaged.

Since they are indoors most of the year you can't let them get full sunlight until you acclimate them in full shade.

How long would you recommend it take to harden them off?

A month or so, gradually moving them to more sun.
