Just got this palm about a week ago and it was knocked off the porch somehow and the tree fell out of the pot. It doesn’t look the best, will it survive?image.thumb.jpg.92431fc6b95338d5cc364cadc09a61a8.jpgimage.thumb.jpg.fb2fd9804870a3724027d602d0afb4c4.jpgimage.thumb.jpg.0fffec44add5b74fa7bd019bfaa2baa2.jpg

I don’t know Bizmarkia well enough to say whether it will be ok. Some palms react poorly to root disturbances. I think I would keep it shaded and damp until you see signs of life. It may take a while , as you know. I am hoping it will be just a set back and not a fatal blow. Harry

@2palm Bismarckia are like Sabals, they hate to have their roots messed with.  However, seedlings seem to be pretty resilient.  I had a 1g Bismarck a bit bigger than that sitting forgotten in a corner.  I went to pick it up and repot it to 3g and ripped it out of the ground and broke a whole bunch of roots.  Whups!  I repotted it to 3g and put it in a part-shaded area and it didn't seem to care.  It's now about 10 feet tall and been in the ground for several years.

I'd be cautious about too much water in that soil mix, it looks pretty dense and rich.  I'd also mark the new spear leaf with a sharpie horizontally, so you can see if it's actively growing.  My gut feel is that it'll be fine.
