just bought this little Phoenix r. and will be putting it in ground tomorrow. i don't cover the top roots, right? it's been a while since i planted a palm and there is a lot of top root showing so i plant to the height of the pot it's in now, right or wrong?
thanks in advance.
here's the whole palm.
I'd plant it at the level it's in the pot now, it seems happy enough with that anyway. If you planted it deeper and covered a lot of those roots it would probably end up with more exposed ones later on. I've got large P, roebelenii in the garden and they have a lot of root mass exposed above the ground. It happens with lots of them.
that's what i thought! just wanted to be sure. thanks so much.
No worries. Where you see them growing in the ground they're usually sitting on a 'mound' of roots.
