Palms from locations like Hawaii can take several months to a year to acclimate from very tropical growing conditons, if ever. It is best to avoid these weaker untested tropical grown plants***   *Once palms arrive, they will benefit from being kept in a 1-3 gallon container, slightly moist, warm, and in a fast draining soil, such as Supersoil, or a quality Cactus-Mix(available at any Home Improvement or local Nursery Supply Center). Any of the following ingredients such as pumice, small bark chips, perlite, wood shavings, vermiculite, and coarse sand can all be used to benefit good drainage. These plants typically favor shade or filtered sun until established(appoximately 3 feet or larger), when they can take more sun. These palms should be planted at a soil height where the roots graduate from the base. Whether you are a 'green thumb' or a beginner, these are easy palms to grow, and will beautify your landscape.   *All palms are shipped bare-root, packed with the roots blanketed in moist sphagnum moss and wrapped in bundles surrounded with aluminum foil to ensure the best health for the plants. Shipping is via U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail, shipped on Monday or Tuesday, arriving in 1-3 days. *If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
