A landscaper that I grew a bunch of A. californias and calidoras (persian palm) in the spring saved the plants for me when they dug them up this week, and now that I have these massive things, I am trying to figure out the best way of saving them until I pot them up to grow out in January. There are a lot that are huge bunches that I think that I can pull the smaller tubers away, and they seem manageable to either pot or dry out, but the main stems are really large....
I guess what I would like to know is what is the best way to deal with these plants-anyone have any pros or cons to potting them up right now or should they be allowed to dry out and go dormant for 2 months? And if so, whats the best way to do that?
Here are some pictures on what I am talking about.
