Thank you all for the great info and links.
http://garden.org/thread/view_... mentions repotting progressively larger pots more quickly than normal, but mentions to do it in the spring. I just happened to look at the bottom of the pot and found roots already growing out of the pot. The only other time I saw that happen was a philodendron and new leaves were dying off quickly.
What should I do about my palm? Repot now, or continue to wait. If this makes a difference on timing, we tend to keep our house at 68 degrees in the winter, but I wonder if the humidity is still high since it takes the soil in most of my plants a long time for the top to dry out between waterings.
I am going to have to develop a habit of writing down when I water this palm, so I can do the maximum 1 cup every two weeks. I guess I should ask this. The first time I watered after bringing it home, I watered it over the sink and whoosh... out came all the water. Is that normal, or should I have it sitting on a plate to catch the water and let it absorb some before dumping the rest out?
Thank you so much for your patience and time in answering my questions.
