Little early to be putting it in the greenhouse?

No,I'm taking it back out,that's where I potted it up at!
I'd put in 3 inches or so of potting mix and then take a 2x4 and pat it down,to remove any air space out of the soil!

Don it's heck keeping them going some times but we do what we have too.

To me the pot and the dirt end up to be more than the palm itself! One of my pricier palms is my pygmy which is over 5 feet tall from the soil line to the top leaf. I got a pot at about 23 dollars and it was HUGE. It took 1 1/2 bags of miracle gro potting soil to fill it up. The palm itself was 65 dollars, so in the end I ended up paying the same price for the palm as I did for the pot and dirt. My philodendron which is also getting large was only 8 dollars off a great seller on ebay, but the pot and the soil cost me about 50 dollars.

The worst part is moving them, but seeing them grow and thrive (especially flower) makes it all worth while.

Good luck

Thanks for the great chuckle that I had on the posting about the whacked out back and not to mention...THE HEMORRHOIDS....how funny and how true it is!!!! LOL
It has gotten to the point that I now wait for my son to come home from College to move my potted plants for me!!!

Your tree looks very happy!!! Good luck with the others...you are lucky that you have a greenhouse...I still bring mine inside my greatroom along with my Plumeria collection (18 and counting!!!) LOL

Welcome to the club. I was in DC last week and went by the national greenhouse there, trying to find out where they get there HUGE pots. I have a 12 foot spindle palm I need to pot up and a Queen palm. I had to raise the roof on the greenhouse this year, looking for bigger pots for next year, need to buy something to move these heavy plants from the patio to the greenhouse and on top of all that make 5 more friends so they can help me pick the thing up to move it. Are they worth it? Yep! I love the topical look to the house. I am just scared I will need to buy a fork lift one day...lol

Hey OD,
I'm looking to buy one of those walk behind hydraulic fork lifts!!!!!
How tall can you raise your greenhouse if needed be?????
I'm going to try tilt my palms at a 45* angle,might get another 3 to 4 ft that way.
Did you find out where to buy bigger pots?
Don

Hey dbrya1...I have sent them an email. I will post any information I get as to where they get them.

Thanks OD
