Queen palm Help needed
by Rider6- 1 reply
- 56 views
Bought this 2 gal queen palm a month ago and since then kept in pot outside. I live in zone 8b. The top part of fond has turned brown and crispy. Some leaves on top side are half green half yellowish. New spears coming out are nice have no issue. Can anyone advise what’s going on. Also I am new to palm so I don’t know how much water should I give it, but I atleast water twice a week if no rain.

The squirrels have been wreaking havoc on my potted palms this spring. I'm not sure why they're so attracted to them, but they love digging holes in the pots and tearing up my palms' roots. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, did you come up with a good way to deter them? So far I've tried trapping them or popping them with airsoft guns when I catch them in the act. All to no avail, though.

I’m making this to keep track and share my experience growing this coconut palm here in North Carolina. I have grown Cocos here in the past and have been a bit lazy on overwintering them but this time I plan on going all out with it later on when winter sets in. But until then i will post updates on the spring/summer growth of this palm. Wish me luck!

Mississippi Squad 1 2 3

I guess it's time for an update. I lost my job in January, lost my car, lost my apartment. Depression hit me really hard. Really hard. Not going into details, but if a friend of mine didn't happen to catch a layover in Texas, I wouldn't be here. He rented me a U-Haul to help me get back to my family's house in Mississippi. I wasn't in the greatest mindset, and I left most of my palms and plants in the apartment. I brought my spindle, C. Plumosa, my L. Weddellaniums, a couple snake plants, a Mangave, and my BxLyto. Everything else was left in the apartment and donated to the staff. They must be happy, because they didn't charge me for breaking the lease or not …

Hi Everyone, I have had this plant since 2018, it has lived in other countries fine and although I am in Barcelona over a year now, but I don’t think it likes its spot here. The plant’s been always happy but recently the leaves are drying quickly and the soil has white damp looking stuff on it. I am not sure what this plant is called and any help to make it look happy again is gratefully appreciated. Thanks

Are these seeds still good for anything?

At the end of October last year, I bought and sowed 3 Christmas palm seeds and one bottle palm seed. So far nothing has sprouted. Today I took the seeds out of the pots and took a closer look at them. The first three photos are photos of bottle palm seed. Is it my imagination or did something try to grow near the top end but it withered and became woody? In the third photo you can see that a hole at the bottom of the seed is partially unsealed and a gap has formed. In the fourth photo is a Christmas palm seed. At the top I noticed a characteristic formation. The Christmas palm seed in the fifth photo looks at the top different than the seed in the fourt…

19yo Potted Coconut

I brought my coconut outside for its annual shower! It gets dusty indoors here in Phoenix, AZ. This is my pride and joy. This palm is where my screen name comes from. I bought it from Home Depot in the summer of 2000. It's been moved around the valley from house to apartment back to house a total of 7 times. It gets so neglected I really have no idea what's keeping it alive. It's never been fertilized with anything but dirty aquarium water. I only started doing that in the past 4 years. It's never been repotted. I just fill in the top with new soil when it gets low. It sat in a dark apartment for a few years. It's almost always parked under an AC vent. It currently sits …

So glad to have found this forum today. I have a 17 year old majesty palm that looks terrible but is very sentimental. It got sunburnt in the car while moving across the country about a year ago, but continues to produce new fonds and plenty of seed pods. I staked it with wooden dowels before the trip. Now that I know it has survived, I’m ready to repot. But the trunk is so thin, and I’d like to plant it deeper in a bigger pot. How high up the exposed trunk can I go? Can I plant it deep enough to cover the skinny green section? Go a little deeper and cover the slightly wider brown segment? Or go all the way and burry it to the base of the plant? I’m afraid of ma…

Need some help. I have two potted bottle palms, one is 5 years old, other is 3, both have same soil, light, pot and watering/fertilizer schedule. Both have new growth since November, both lost a frond in December. Problem is the oldest lost another frond in January and the new growth is half the size of the younger tree and the trunk looks alot slimmer than it used to be. Any ideas or suggestions?

Please post pics of your potted Syagrus weddelliana 1916 (= Microcoelum weddellianum 1956 = Lytocaryum weddellianum 1944 = Cocos weddelliana 1871)! — At present I have only three year young S weddelliana (of course all grown up from seed), because my (hundreds upon hundreds) older ones didn’t like my several world trips and other journeys … — But at first I’ll post the oldest pic of a Cocos weddelliana WENDL. from 1871, and then a photo of my “working” place as it looks like today:

Seeking advice regarding potted Bismarckia, Butia, Jubaea and Nikau palms.

I have recently acquired or germinated four reputedly slower growing palms, which I will initially keep in pots. I intend to plant the Jubaea Chilensis and Butia Capitata in my yard in Portland once they are old and big enough. With the increasing incidences of polar vortexes, I won't be able to plant the Bismarckia Nobilis and Rhapostylis sapida outside, but intend to give them away to someone on the southern Oregon coast when they get too big (if I am still alive at that point.) My first questions are about the growth rate of the Bismarckia, Butia and Jubaea: How fast do they actually grow? How often should I repot them and how long will it be possible to k…

Hello everyone. I recently purchased three majesty palms and I have them in pots on my patio. We are in Tampa, Florida (zone 9b) and these palms are going to near lots of direct sunlight. The pots have one hole about 1.5 inches in diameter in the bottom of them for drainage. The soil I used was Miracle Grow, Cactus, Palm and Citrus soil. After only having them a little over a week, you can see they are turning very brown. I presume this means they need more water. I've been watering them every other day, just when I notice that the top inch of soil is dry. If these aren't the best for being in pots in a patio in direct hot sun, can someone recommend an…
