Here are most of the palms I own

Nice looking collection there for your climate zone . Might be time to move that Syagrus Romanzoffiana into a larger pot , and maybe the Archontophoenix as well. Those are both fast growing palms that need constant watering and room to grow. Harry

Thank you for the reply , I’m planning on planting it on the ground since it did not get cold damaged during the winter but rather got stress damaged when I brought it from the nursery I also have two little litoralis queens I’m also planning on planting the big one right now I’m going to have trouble removing from this pot I feel like that’s my only concern

The good news is that Queens are not particularly root sensitive . I usually lay them on their side and tap the pot with my hand as I roll it and then it comes out easily with a gentle tug on the trunk. That Queen will grow much more rapidly in the ground. Update us when you get it planted . I had a Syagrus Schizophylla in a deep pot with roots coming out the drain holes. I did the method I shared with you last weekend and got it planted in about an hour , including digging the hole. Harry

This was a deep pot to accommodate the root systems that Syagrus are known for.

A much slower growing palm than Syagrus Romanzoffiana but the same type of root system. A little rolling of the container and fist bumping the sides of the pot , it pulled right out .

That is the old leaf base dying off . Discoloration is normal as they get ready to fall off . Eventually it will be more and more of a brown color until it just peels off . It is self cleaning but sometimes after they get really brown they can be removed with just a tug where the frond was cut off. Harry

Last year on a Roystonia Oleracae . Most crown shaft palms are self cleaning and the old leaf base looks very brown before falling off.

Whack that syagrus in the ground, nows the time to let it be free, to go forth and multiply!
