Purchasing Bare-Rooted Dypsis decipiens Seedlings

I am going to be purchasing several Dypsis decipien 1-gallon sized seedlings from a well known nursery. I have heard that D. decipien does not do well after being bare rooted. Has anyone had success with this species after being bare rooted? What techniques did you use to insure survivability? I have considered putting them directly in the ground as opposed to potting them up. Everything seems to do better in the ground in my location (barring a 25 year freeze event).

I'm sure that other root sensative palms are questionable being bare rooted as well....Bizmarkia comes to mind.

I've found they do well. Pot them in a relatively light mix, and keep them out of the sun and wind for about a month, then gradually give them more exposure.

I've found them much harder to plant in the ground.

I just got some from Floribunda, they're fine. Anything Floribunda sells is going to be fine, trust me, highest quality plants you will ever buy.

I confirm what Axel is saying,

Floribunda seedlings are able to make a 20'000 km journey and be fine!

But I lost 2 D. decipiens seedlings ( on 141 seedlings!) , I must have been wrong with the mix.

Do not plant them directly into the ground from bare roots. Get them established in a pot first.

Ok...thanks all. Pot them first, light mix, dappled sun. I can do that.

I'm hoping that I can grow mine successfully here in Florida, word on the street is that they are most likely doomed with all of our humidity. Mine has done well in a pot so far, shade grown. I moved it into some sun an a few leaves got a little sun burned :( use a well draining mix as they apparently like to rot here in FL. Good luck! I'll need it too. Anyone else growing these in Florida have any advice for us? Here's mine :)

This is one palm that might actually do better in N. Florida. Keep us posted on yours. Those are really nice size....did you buy them that size? Where?
