Help with Carpentarian Palm

[mazarishal]

Hello, I want to grow the Carpentarian palm inside, because in South Rasht Iran it is too cold. How much growth it would have in 3 year inside my house?

 

Thank you

They are extremely fast palms. That's the only thing I know.

Hello, 

I guess your Carpentaria acuminata would be substantially quicker growing than mine at 49 °N.  It is growing with natural light only, which is quite scarce here from Nov-Feb.

Not as fast growing as you might think,without hot and humid conditions. I am sprouting a few Carpentaria seeds myself now, and have included a picture of a 3 year old plant from a previous batch. In 3 years grown inside,your plant will probably be less than half a meter tall.

From what I can see from temperature data Rasht is zone 10a/b with the average extreme minimum being around 36 F about 2 C (correct me if I'm wrong).

You might try it outside as these palms are hardy to 30 F

Go for it! If it lives happily and if it gets too big just plant it outdoors in a protected spot (protected from cold winds and frost mainly). If it gets that big, consider it a success!
 

Kentia plams (Howea forsteriana) is another good option for a long term indoor palm. These are known for long term success in bright indirect light, moderate humidity/moisture indoor environments. Good luck and keep us posted with pics!
