Any tips for this palm? I want to move it to a bigger pot for some time and plant it on spring along with 2 Acrocomias I bought.

How pot bound is it ? If you plan on planting it this spring I wouldn't worry about potting it up. There notoriously slow growers so you got time.

    I haven't recieved it yet but yes. I was planning to repot it.

    Attalea grow a really deep "saxophone" shape root, so it's a good idea to use a relatively deep pot.  A loose mix with frequent watering is a good choice.  I had problems with some Attalea seedlings in soil mixes that were way too dense.  My now-normal mix of equal parts generic topsoil (shredded tree bark), perlite, and Turface MVP seems to work pretty well.  I have seedlings in about 50% full sun with the rest of the day part shade.
