It'll take quite a while for mine to be the size of your Foxtails.

Some of mine are like that too, and I added a tiny bit of soil to keep the still-attached seed from floppin' in the wind.the first 1/8 inch of roots on most of the plants were exposed
Could be, but other juveniles beside it have grown more leaves already.a sort of middle stage in development
that could very well be true, Paul.I swear the miracle grow soil I purchased comes infested with the buggers.
I have never seen that brand around here - I'll try to find it or something similar. I have been doctoring up the miracle-gro mix with vermiculite for drainage. I also have only fertilized with miracle-gro all purpose fertilizer for two years. Will have look on-line for palm fert., no one sells it around here.lucky1 wrote:oh yeah, Dean, I meant to comment on what Paul said about MG

But another thing is that Miracle Gro soil, I believe, is still manufactured with "minor nutrients/fert added for your convenience".
That's fine for petuniasbut I wouldn't recommend MG soil for palms. Find something with more GRIT, faster draining, and NO fertilizer in it because you'll be using your own Palm Special Fertilizer.
I'm now using what John (okanagandesertpalms) uses (thanks for the tip John!).
It's super-fast draining and entirely eliminates having to buy any Perlite (except for starting seeds).
Pro growing mix, about $25 for about 80 lbs of mix. Cheap.
