I germinated some Arenga seeds in community pot in well draining soil, some of them are on second leaf and I dont know when is the best time to repot them?

What soil, how big pots? Winter is comming and Im living in solid zone 9 but Im still wondering if I have to protect them somehow?

Thanks

Those things are real slow. However, the one thing I find with real slow palms is they are also real tough.

Heading into a zone 9a winter, personally, I wouldn't disturb the roots now. I would, however give them some minor protection ( a larger pot upside-down over top ) or just bring them in the house on the coldest nights. Next year, I wouldn't bother.

The green ones look perfect. I would try to get some Nitrogen uptake on the more yellow ones or just pull them - they're not looking so great.

in winter the minimum in my city is down to -4 degrees celsius

I have many arenga engleri,show no sign of suffering at these temperatures

Thanks guys.

Gyuseppe, any special requires for them? Shade, sun, water regime? We dont have them here, well thats as maaaany others lol.

I have had one growing under trees in the mountains near Sydney for about 10+ years. Temps range from -3 to + 45 degrees C. They are very hardy.

I have seen them in their native habitat in high mountains in Taiwan.

They are very slow, but cope with everything, including being almost totally eaten by cows.

Your seedlings look great

they need some sun, but not that of the central hours,my sunbathing only in the morning
