Hi, i sowed  some phoenix dactylifera seeds, directly from the fruit ( fresh dates are delicious). I used  regular potting mix with sand on 1:1 ratio.  Now it's time to repot them, could you advice me on the best potting mix for those palms ?

Free draining mix best. Also deep pots. These are not fussy palms at all. You could probably grow them in cactus mix.

I had used for these two Ph dactylifera also a mix for cacti. When the plants get bigger I would prefer a coarse sandy loam or granite grus. (The smaller palm was planted in a Ø12xH12cm plastic pot.)
