In the summer of 2022, I spent about $20 to purchase this beautiful palm and planted it in an 8b area located in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province.

The winter of 2022 was no pressure for such a palm, so in the spring of 2023, I fertilized it.

In the summer of 2023, it slowly withdrew its feather leaves.

In the winter of 2023, it encountered a snowstorm. Although the lowest temperature was only 21 degrees Fahrenheit, long-term rain and snow caused the leaf core to rot, fortunately it recovered on its own.

In the summer of 2025, it pulled out its first flower stem!
It is no longer a young palm. Now it is noticeably taller and thicker.

It has really grown well. It's looking great now! Did you plant it in the raised container to help with drainage issues? Beautiful palm. 

Looking really healthy and putting on some impressive growth!

它真的长得很好。现在看起来很棒!您是否将其种植在凸起的容器中以帮助解决排水问题?美丽的手掌。

Yes, that's right. The area I am in often receives long-term rainfall in summer, so to avoid decay, I choose to raise it.

Very nice growth , especially for all it has been through. Harry

Beatiful palm, and already flowering!
