Pot size

last modified: 10 years ago

My Parlor Palm is growing at a pretty good rate I was wondering if the pot it was in is big enough. It is in a 6"pot and I was wondering if it needed to be transplanted to a bigger one and if so maybe an 8"? Also when is the best time to transplant .

Palms prefer to be slightly snug in their pots, and I don't that you are there quite yet. Just, be sure you keep up with watering in that clay pot..., especially as the warm/hot months approach. Chamaedorea palms prefer that the soil dry slightly between waterings but don't appreciate drought. Good luck!
