Its a beauty, I'm thinking you have a cat and if I'm right you'll need to get it off the floor because the cat will be eating it in no time. I dont know why but cats love to eat palms. Great idea to use the chicken wire to keep out the kitty..... Others will give you great advice on how to care for it.

thank you christine.... I do have two cats Issues and Foo
So I do hope others will give me lots of good advise as to how to KEEP it looking like this... :)

this is so beautiful now that its new...I REALLY want to learn how to keep it this way.....

Since you've had no added advice here why dont you post this over on the palms forum.Good Luck Christine

Also, since it's already posted in 2 different places for Al to see (maybe he's busy & not available right now), you might also try doing some searches on your own.

Search for "Palms, care & culture" & you can do lots of reading in the meantime.

Didn't know there's a Palm Forum, that's a great idea too.

I'm familiar with this palm but only as an outdoor, garden planted palm.

Yours looks like it's been field dug and chunked into a too small container. I can't help but think that it was intended to be planted outside.

Ok... good advise all around....I don't really know how to move a post (to palms) but I'll research it.
And I have done some research on my own and have some solid feedback.... I just wanted his <:>I am so grateful for you all, though, for trying to help. I'm giving some thought to what you are saying rhizo. Along with the search advise

Roksee, you won't be moving your post to another forum, simply go to the Palm Forum and post your pictures and concerns there, too.

I'll be curious to see what others in that forum have to say. One thing for certain.....a palm can't develop a trunk of that dimension by being grown in a small container. :-)

I've been a participant in these forums for many years and can't remember another posting about this particular palm being grown as a houseplant.
