Bismarckia nobilis spike stunt

I bought a young 3 Gal Bismarckia nobilis with 2 spikes 1 month ago. When it arrived it had a little nick in growth meaning it was not growing straight upwards, but making a little curve to the left. It seemed healthy apart from the oldest 2 leaves. To adjust to a straight  growth I decided to repot without touching the root system and is now in a 7 gal, ever since those beautiful 2 spikes are not moving neither opening. Not sure if it takes time or the shipping was stressful (came from FL) stunt the growth or its boron deficiency? Or it takes time for them to open?

My C.Fallaensis opened 2 spikes in no time

Sometimes some palms or plants will go into shock from being shipped and / or having their roots disturbed in any way.  Id wait it out and see how it goes over the next few weeks.  It looks pretty healthy to me.

I would wait. Should start opening the spears soon. Sometimes just relocating can cause some stress but it looks happy to me.

the longer spike opened up after staying in the house overnight when temperature went to 49. I am glad.

If it looks great don’t worry I’ve had that happen in pots before up here in Canada. Eventually it will find its happy place and grow like a weed
