I would flood the pots twice a week.

Palmgirl

I keep mine on the dry side maybe water it 1 time a week
and never that much... but it is only about a 2 gallon tree

Tophers sounds about right. Hey Topher, a 2 gallon X-Mas would be a nice tree. Got pics?????

Just a guess on what gallon it is wannabe
it has been trimmed it only has 4 fronds think it had fungus. it is about 20 in tall it is only about
6 months old sorry to get you excited. but if you insist i will still post a pic tonight

18 years later I am still waiting for the pics

Regardless, they are water-lovers. In my personal opinion, somewhat less tolerant of dryness than many palm species.
