You got it Pat!

Put it into a VERY sturdy 10" 0r 12" pot preferably with hangers
You cannot imagine the weight if this plant full grown. like--30-35 lbs.
The fronds are just so succulent. They can also break off when you
move the HB around--hence me having so many starts,

It is NOT something you can, casually, re-pot--so let it grow INTO the bigger pot.
They also tend to get heavy on one side and the pot will tilt. Hence the wire hangers.

Good luck! I hope you live to see it bloom. I only saw ONE bloom soon after I got it (2005).
It was a beauty. Never again. may not like my dormancy periods or the climate here,
