Hi Mohsen. That soil looks good. I presume that they would curve, but i don't think I have ever seen a double planted. 

Thanks Steve

I also fill the hole with water and the drainage is not that bad....

Is the double common for D.Lepto?  I should know before planting it in ground !

Can or should  I separate them?

That would be great if someone help or post a pics of the double.

Perhaps plant them near each other but like 50 cm - 1m away?

I believe that the double comes from repotting two seedlings together.
I am afraid it's too late for separating them and I doubt they'll both grow nicely in the future.
You may accept that only the strongest survives.

Thanks Phillippe

I separated big triple Kentia once and they happily survived...I wish The D.Lepto was like that...

There was a single stem there when I got this but I thought the double is better...now I see I might be wrong...

I am not even sure that I like the curved D.Lepto now...But what can I do now >

Plant it and watch. I think a curved trunk will be visually pleasing and the smaller one will provide you with red fuzz at easy reach for a little while longer.

I would say they are not so strong, and I am not sure the smaller one will last too long...

Comments? Opinions?

Hi All

Jut got this guy ( or I should say guys as it has two stem and I don't think it is a clustering palm?) It is beautiful and healthy ...

It is in 100 L bag and over 2.5 m tall ( from tip of new unopened frond) ...

 

 

 

 

I was thinking to plant it near to our new Granny Flat , we dug and unfortunately we hit the rock ( I hate it) , so no way we could go deep there...

 

 

 

Now I am not sure if I can find another place for it   my question is :

1- Before I find a final home for this, how often I should water it...every day? every other day ? It is in full sun...

2- Can I build a raised bed over the site ( where we hit the rock) and plant it? I am not sure if it is a good idea as what would happen to the drainage at the bottom of the raised bed still will be the rock

3- Can I buy a huge pot and keep it there forever ?anyone has even done this for a long time?

Thanks for any input

Mohsen

The new spear is opening now   still in the bag ...watering every other day...

Here some pictures of doubles growing in Gardens By The Bay, Singapore (december 2012) I am not sure that the trunks are as strong as they are when solitary.

In the first picture the double seems having the same trunk diameter ?

Anyway I think I don't have any option and I should plant them as they are , it is near zero chance if I can separate them without killing them I guess

My Lepto is opening the 2nd spear ... It doesn't seem slow
