I have had the potted palms in the linked pictures for more than 20 years. About a month ago, I repotted them for the first time in several years. At that time, the roots and stems looked healthy (no evidence of what I would recognize as root rot). However, since then the two plants have started dropping leaves from the bottom up. The stalks at first wilt, then dry up, and then turn brown/yellow. The discoloration occurs throughout the entirety of the stalk and leaves and not just at the ends of the leaves. In the pictures, the one palm may look elongated, but I think this is this is just reflective of the volume of leaf loss. I am at a loss for what may be…

Another germination question, seems like that's all I've been posting lately. Anyone had any success germing Dypsis marojejy/ coursii? Being a high land plant, I'm guessing high temps aren't needed? I'm thinking 12 to 25 degrees Celsius?

My Cyrtostachys renda has some browning on a few of it's larger leaves and I'm wondering if this is a sign of a larger problem. The soil is kept constantly moist and it's at a consistent temp of 65-78F and RH of 60%. It has an led grow light above it on a low setting to help with light as well as warmth through the winter. Thanks in advance!

Droopy pgymy palm
by Bawnie- 11 replies

Hi - I purchased a home 6 months ago, which came with a large, beautiful pygmy date palm in the living room. I followed the previous owner's advice: I maintained the water level in the self-watering canister between the two red lines. Recently (in the last 2 months), I also started using Palm Focus in every other watering. In the last few weeks the plant has started to droop. There are some dry leaves, but I assume those are normal and need to be pruned at some point. Rather, my concern is that some of the healthy looking leaves also began to droop on the left side of the plant, and they fell off easily when touched. The left side of the plant now looks a b…

Cold Climate Zone Pushing/Zone shifting

Here in my home town (Toledo Ohio/USDA Zone 6b) I took a walk around a botanical garden we have here. The place is called the "Toledo Botanical Garden", and is host to over at least a 1,000 different plant and tree species. They have an on-site greenhouse with very knowledgeable experts, and the whole place is southern-oriented. I noticed they have tropical, subtropical, and other kinds of specimens growing there. I was surprised to find them there since they don't seem as if they could survive here. I saw what looks like one rather large potted Sago, and many I don't know what kind they are. The large Sago has such as large pot, I couldn't imagine how they move it …

Watering with ice cubes?

Subject came up on a Google news feed for indoor plants, not specifically indoor palms but got me to thinking about this since over watering is the #1 killer of indoor palms. I have done it with Orchids and occasionally with potted palms but not as my mainstay watering program. Anyone here that has done this long term? and how did your palms do?

Hello everyone I have a question regarding potted areca palm. My palm has developed some kind of brown and transparent spots. I am not sure what is the case. The spots are on the largest leaves, so I would rather not have them cut off. Do you know what the issue is and how to treat it?

Time to Repot?
by NCFM- 11 replies
- 516 views
These sabal seedlings (minor, causiarum, and mexicana) are all around 1 and a half years old, and their roots are beginning to bust through the bottom of their 12inch deep grow bags. Should I try and repot them now, or is it late enough in the growing season that I'd be better off waiting until next spring? These are actually the first palms I've ever grown up from seed, so I figured I'd ask for advice here before making any hasty decisions. Here are pictures of some of them: I also have some cdp seedlings that are growing very vigorously. I'm assuming out of all of them these are the most in need of being repotted?

Repotting and changing soil type for Rhopalostylis Baueri
by David_Sweden- 11 replies
- 1.8k views
I just got a rather big (5' incl pot) Rhopalostylis Baueri and it is in a quite small pot as you can see, and it is rather rootbound: lots of root especially in the bottom but not enough to deform or crack the plastic pot, and not sticking out of the draining holes almost at all. I'm thinking I could repot it now or wait until next spring. I had almost decided to wait 1 year but there's one more reason to not wait: The soil mix is very gritty and extremely well draining, I've read about this type of soil before, and now that I see it I don't like it. Apparently the reason for choosing this is that it should be virtually impossible to overwater. A major downside is that …

Hola everyone. I am new to the board so forgive me if I don’t yet know my way around efficiently. Anywho I bought myself a Cyrtostachys renda without really understanding palms whatsoever and am not sure if it’s doing well. Transplanted it from a 5 gallon garden bag to a 9-10 gallon pot. Used a mixture of local dirt from the mangrove close to me and mixed it with worm castings 50/50 of my own making, all materials organic sources. I have it in a NE corner with lots of indirect light through out the day and 3 hours of direct sun early morning. The newest palm frond was showing as a 10 inch spike when I brought her home 2 months ago. In that time the new frond has come up …

High air humidity only during the day?
by fotodimatti- 11 replies
- 730 views
Hi indoor palm growers, Am I correct in thinking that indoor plants need additional air humidity mostly during the day? So, I can shut down my humidifier during the night, which would help to avoid mold infestation on my apartment walls. I am based in Germany, so my winter life mostly happens indoors. Therefore, I focus on palms that can thrive without Mediterranean levels of sunshine, such as tropical understory palms like Joey, Chamaedoreas, and Kerriodoxa. I think they make great indoor plants, but they tend to require high air humidity. Here is what I hope to understand correctly about plant physiology: during the day, when plants receive light for phot…

Seeking advice regarding potted Bismarckia, Butia, Jubaea and Nikau palms.
by Palmy Portlander- 1 follower

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…

Watering Rhopalostylis baueri
by David_Sweden- 11 replies
- 2k views
Hi. My Baueri is very thirsty. I had it for 2 years and repotted it a few times and it has now reached what I intend to be the final pot size. Until a few weeks ago it needed watering every 3 days but since recently it requires water every 2 days. I can not combine normal life with plants that require watering more than every 3 days (my even bigger Kentia requires it every 6 days) so I'll either have to give it away or find a different watering solution. I just started testing putting a bowl instead of saucer under it (see pic), and after I completed watering I add water to 1-2 cm from the brim. This water lasts about 1½ days so that I have to water every 4 days. I w…

I wanted to start a topic on this for some time now, but never really got the time for it. As a working professional with two kids of respectively 3y and 4mth and a busy household, writing about my favorite palms and uploading some pictures to go with it, mostly gets last as priorities have be set. So this has been on my mind for quite some time. So what happened? Well, I was getting a little annoyed that seeds of my favorite palm species were allmost never available at the usual seed dealers, especially in the last few years. Even though I have a very nice adult plant in my living room, I felt a strong urge to germinate a batch of seeds again. I think many of y…

Haven't found much info on this. I'm about to pull the trigger on 3 of these for Patio Squad https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bloem-Veranda-Square-18-in-Black-Plastic-Deck-Box-Planter-57918/301861604 My palms are in a mix of upcycled grower pots, some grower pots, and Bloem Lucca. The Bloem are my favorite due to the removable saucers and the lips that make them easy to move. Plus they look nice. I did a search here for Bloem and literally every post was mine lol. Anyway - what do y'all like? What's y'alls favorite?
