Hi there, pretty sure this is my first post here but I have been lurking around for a while.I didn't want to hijack anybody elses post to ask some questions so I thought it best to start a new topic.

I bought this one and 2 others at the end of season on the discount rack at HD and wintered them in the garage last year.While they seemed to fill out nicely I didn't manage to get much vertical growth. Any suggestions for fertilizer (what and how often) I am pretty new to palms and tropicals so any help would be great

I am in Abbotsford BC which I think is Zone 8b depending on the map I look at and this one gets full sun until 5 pm or so ( pic is taken facing south) the other two are in the back yard and get full sun from about 10am until sun down. I watered every day but really wasn't sure about ferts so that was pretty sporadic.

Thanks in advance.
Nate
