First windmill Palm!

[Colin1110082]

Hello, I got my first windmill palms from palmpei zone 6 Massachusetts in palm citrus cactus soil and 3 gal pots. We’re supposed to get cool rain tomorrow so I will bring them under an over hang or inside somewhere. Just watered and they’re in the hot sun. I might move them in a cooler spot in an hour but they need sun. Here’s the spear too, also musa Basjoo baby banana. Thank you to everyone for your help I’m really excited to watch these grow! As far as the spear should I be worried about the discoloration or is it fine. I bet it’s fine I’m just worrying to much I’ve never owned these. They will go on my deck which gets full sun every day but I might move them in the shade in the afternoon it gets really hot. But for now they’re in the full sun

They look good! I think the spears look ok. I would lean towards a few hours rather than all day sun to start while they establish. Mine thrive in half day sun. Lower temps=more sun ok.

Not knowing how these were started, I recommend morning-only sun. Three to four hours. Maybe add an hour each month.

Yes, we have a really crappy week so they won’t really get any sun. I have them in a south facing room so they get some light.

Windmill Palms can live for years in pots and thrive ,limit sun exposure at first as was recommended. Harry

It’s a nice day today so they’re outside they were outside for maybe 2 or 3 days the rest has been cold or rain I kind of put a chair in front to block some sun if that helps, also watered yesterday
