    I bought this palm in a dixie cup without a label. I know I have to re-pot and would love to know how big and what condition this palm likes. I think I have narrowed it down between Marojejya darianii or Alloschmidia Glabrata. Although I have not seen anything with the same markings on the leaves. Thank you for any input

    Certainly not Marojejeya, which has very large undivided leaves at this stage. Alloschmidia is a bit doubtful too. Not being a grower I can't claim to recognise the juvenile phases of many palms. But it reminds me of some Pinanga spp.

    Thank you for the direction. I think it is a Pinanga Kuhlii or an Ivory Cane Palm. It grows like an areca or alexander palm depending on the cluster amount. It is cold sensitive and will get large if put in the ground.
