Question on a cat palm.

19 years ago

I bought a cat palm last fall from a grocery store. It was in ruff shape. It had four shoots coming out of the base. Two died. I re-potted it and moved it outside Saturday. I have it in filterd sun. How cold hardy are they? Will it do ok in the low 40s at night.

thanx,

Andy

Hey Andi,

I have two cat palms in my garden which are growing very well. They survived, with minor damage, temperatures in the low 30s, of course for a short periode of time. Some leaves showed dead tips, but that was it.
They need a lot of water, since they are growing near riverbeds in their natural habitate.

I hope this helps,

PeGo

Thanx pego. it sounds like it should do fine based on my local forcast. Any idea if the two dead shoots will come back?
