Nice palm you got there :D Christchurch is known to get alot of rain but they will do much better than where I live. I like your other plants too. Such as your cactus they need alot of good drainege but cool plants :D And your palm is a very good size and healthy :) I have a hardy tree fern that does not do very well in zone 5 and 6. But for you its no problem.Mine needs a structure with a 40 watt light bulb.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
