Mexican fan palm tilt / spiral

[Slifer00]

How do I fix this tilt? It was initially tilting/leaning to the right, despite being in the centre of a south-facing window. I then moved it a bit in that direction, hoping that the tilt would reduce/go back to its original position. But now, it has formed a spiral on the upper half that is tilting back to the left?

Does anyone have any idea as to how i could fix this?

Thanks in advance

Also, outdoor temps in the next 10 days are forecasted to be +14 to +21 (celsius) in the day and +6 to +11 during the night. Can I leave it outside? I'm worried that the temp change will be too much for the seedlings (the approximate height without spiral is 15cm)

Let it alone. It will sort itself out on its own. That one strap leaf will eventually be replaced by new leaves. Palms re-absorb nutrients from their oldest leaves in preparation for growing new leaves and yours will eventually go palmate. They don't need our interference to do so.

Washies are tough palms. As long as temps don't fall below freezing and freeze the roots in the pot they can be left outdoors. Or, for your own peace of mind you can bring it in overnight. Welcome to PalmTalk

Keep the seedling warm. Avoid those lower temps (not lethal but slow them down). I have a whole bunch of these seedlings myself. Your seedling appears normal! I have gently corrected tilting with some of mine but yours looks fine.

Thanks all. I will just leave it as it was indoors

Great to know. I've got some Sabal Bermudana doing the same thing.
