Aerenga won't root

15 years ago

I have an Aerenga engleri that I've kept in a pot for a few years. It's never rooted very well, so this past spring I put it in the ground in a spot where I had lost a Picabeen palm to the freeze we had last winter. The Aerega still is not rooting. It survived low 20s in Dec, but the winds blew it over. Is there something I can do to get it to root? TIA

Bottom heat might help.

I would stake it up well so it can't possibly blow over and then mulch it extremely well around the base... should send some more roots down over the summer. Keep it staked for a few years.
