I had mine outside in the pot the last two winters and was doing quite well in my 9a climate. Only a few times I put it inside, but it went through light freezes with no problem. I would plant it in the ground in a 9b climate.
I almost didn't fertilize it all the time. This summer the leaves got quite yellow quickly, so I bought a fertilizer with high Mg and the little palm liked it. I hope the new leaves will stay greener.
This winter it grew quite fast inside my greenhouse.

Good luck to all growers of this beautiful palm. I love the new leaves when they unfold.
