I just recieved my 2 Acrocomias that I had ordered. They have long petioles so I assume they are shade grown, they are also extremely root bound, ¿is it time to transplant them?

Here are the palms by the way, they look quite small but the petioles are huge for a palm that size. none of the roots broke in the process of getting them out of the box by the way.

Give them some root room to grow in. Harden them gradually to full sun. They are full sun palms in nature.

That's not far from where I collected some Acrocomia seeds that I managed to bring back and germinate.  I think it helped that they are clean and look more like decorative wooden spheres than seeds!

Transplanted both palms yesterday by the way. Looks like both will make it because I have seen some changes on the new leaves and spears. The faster one is the one that has the pinnate frond.
