Repotting a Baby Queen Palm Correctly

First-Time Repotting Guide for a Young Queen Palm

A new queen palm owner needs step-by-step repotting instructions.

Simple Steps

1. Remove from nursery pot with as much soil on roots as possible.
2. Pot into a 1-gallon container with light potting mix.
3. Water well, place in morning sun.
4. Water when soil dry to touch; don't keep wet.
5. After a month of growth, apply 2 tbsp balanced palm fertilizer, then every 4 months (increasing amount).

Queens ultimately need ground planting; containers are temporary.
