Transplanting Fragile Palm Seedlings Successfully

Washingtonia palms have brittle seedling roots. Best started in individual pots to avoid disturbance.

Transplant Tips

• Dig wide, deep holes; backfill gently, no tamping.
• Water in; let soil settle naturally.
• Harden off: 10 days in shade before full sun.
• Protect from wind/hail during transition.

Direct-sown seedlings can be moved once large enough to handle root ball intact.
