Finally got my king palm

[dimitriskedikogloy]

After a whole year I finally got the opportunity the purchase a king palm for myself it looks in almost excellent condition and I’m really looking forward it looks absolutely beautiful

Congratulations! That looks good , maybe hardened off , not stretched out. Thats a good thing . I would add a bit of soil to the pot , just enough to cover those roots . If you don’t already know , they love water. Harry

so a little but of soil to cover the roots got it. May i ask if you have any idea weather its an alexandre or cunninghamiana?

Needs to be in a larger pot or, better off, in the ground. Those closely spaced trunk rings are from not enough water. A healthy young specimen would look like the one pictured below. And mature, like the second photo.

If you’re curious , an Alexandrea will have a silver sheen on the underside of the leaves and a more upright frond with dark green coloring . From what I can see , it is Cunninghamiana . Jim is right , like your Queen Palm , they need a large pot . I would do that ASAP . At least give it more soil to cover the roots and water …. A lot! A large pot will allow it to grow better .

I will have to repot it then we get frost in the winter so should the new pot be just a bit larger or a lot larger ?

Also may I ask if I should repot now or when spring comes around

I would repot now in a deeper pot that has a a bit larger diameter too. If you have an area of the garden that has some overhead tree canopy and you’re in zone 9b, planting it in the ground would come the most beneficial for the palm.
