One year ago I planted five paurotis seedlings (Acoelorraphe wrightii) on the side of  the empty pond that I have here. Now I finally have closed the place were the water flows out the pool.The rains came, and the pond level rose. Two of the little palms are now very close to the water (a few centimeters) and have now very soggy conditions.....

   I read on Internet very contradictory info about this palm. Some say it can have wet feet, others say the opposite....

   I want to know if I have to move my palms,or will they be OK where they are?

 Thanks,Alberto

My experience and observation is they want plenty of water and are native to boggy conditions.  Sounds like a happy home for your babies.

Although they're called "Everglades palm" in Florida, they aren't generally on the tree islands.  The most likely location seems to be shorelines, where they may be flooded on occasion.  A specimen from the Field Museum "colonia de tamano considerable . . . formando una mancha entre el bosque y una laguna estacional" from Costa Rica, sounds sorta like where you'd expect to see it in Florida.  http://fm2.fieldmuseum.org/vrrc/max/AREC-a...rig-2005967.jpg

Of course they grow happily in gardens.

Fla. climate center: 100-119 days>85 F
USDA 1990 hardiness zone 9B
Current USDA hardiness zone 10a
4 km inland from Indian River; 27º N (equivalent to Brisbane)

Central Orlando's urban heat island may be warmer than us
