   Hello. I am interested in knowing if the water of the turtles can be a nutricional supplement for palms. The turtles feed gammarus, which contains Ca, P, K, Na, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn and others. There are 78l of water, and I would reuse. Regards.

    Brahea armata vs. sp. 'Super Silver'

    • 3.1k views

    I realize this is probably a matter of personal taste, and there may be disagreement, but I'm wondering what people on this board think. I've seen a palm simply labelled Brahea sp. 'Super Silver', which may be a form of Brahea nitida (?). How does it look compared with B. armata? I really like the look of B. armata and may need to include this palm in future plans, but I wanted to look into other silver-/blue-leaved palms, too. Jason

    over head watering???

    I understand that overhead watering can cause rot due to water collecting in the crown... why is this? most palms come from areas where they get rained on all the time so wouldnt it seem that this would be good for the palm? ive seen the damage this type of watering can do so i would never do it but im just wondering why this is...

    Floribunda Palms has these listed - and I googled it - and I am puzzled. None of the photos show any real variegation. The leaves are green, the stems are lighter green/golden in color - What gives ?

    Just how drought tolerant is Dypsis decaryi?

    • 1.7k views

    I planted this Dypsis decaryi (and 5 others that got eaten by gophers) out by the road 3 years ago as 2 leaf seedlings, and they receive no irrigation whatsoever! This is not clay soil that holds moisture either. This is very dry, rocky conditions. They are amazing! I'm convinced that when planted in any normal yard that has irrigation to other plants nearby that they will thrive and most importantly won't rot out when they get large like I see happening often.

    These are my first palms I've ever owned, so I was hoping one of you experts could help ID the palm trees I recently bought. I was told they were King Palms (Archontophoenix Cunninghamiana) but now I'm not so sure because the fronds seem to be so spread apart and they seem to be skinny for their height (compared to king palms that are similar height on the internet). Thanks!
