Big palms in small containers
by NorCalWill- 2 replies
- 80 views
I’m currently shopping for various palms for a landscape job I’m working on, and while shopping for palms at various nurseries, I’m seeing a few large palms that are packed into small nursery containers. They’ve obviously outgrown their pots and should have been moved into larger ones. Will palms in this situation grow up normally when put in the ground, or will they be permanently stunted? I’ve literally seen palms in 5 gallon nursery pots with trunks that fill the diameter of the pot!! They’re probably rooted into the ground as well… Good lord.

Hello everyone, I bought a multi stem robusta around 2 weeks ago and decided to divide the 4 stems into one single stem and a trio. After reading in this forum and watching tutorials on how to do it, I divided them carefully and with rarely any root loss. The first picture is how they looked like right after the separation. While the trio still looks the same more or less, the single stem looks desaturated and the leaves are tightened up (like in the two last pictures). It has been pretty cold in the past nights but nothing below 0 degrees Celsius (32F) the new leave seems to still grow and still looks good. What’s wrong with my plant and can I do something to make it …

I have been growing a dwarf betel nut palm in Gainesville Fl since early March this year It has been been growing well and is pushing a new spear out, but over the last couple of days one of the lower fronds has turned yellow. I was trying to figure out whether this was within the range of normal of behavior for this palm or if I should be concerned for nutritional deficiencies or even lethal yellowing. I know that coconut palms most often get lethal yellowing, however, there are lethal yellowing equivalents in arecha catechu (I think). What do you all think? Picture attached below.

Can I divide a Robusta with 4 stems?
by ArcticPalms- 3 replies
- 78 views
I took home a Robusta with four stems the other week (and prior to this I thought this species was a single stemmed). Some of the leaves are rather crammed for space in competition with each other IMO. So my question is, is it possible to divide it into 2x two stems or 4x single stems? I.e. will it survive such a treatment? See attached photo for the situation. It's currently a single plant connected to the same root system as far as I can tell. Maybe I can simply slice it into four plants with a clean sharp knife. Also, maybe I should wait warmer temperatures before doing this... just took it inside again as it will be -1 deg C outside tonight. Tangen…

How do I prevent root rotting?

Hello guys, As some of you may know from my other post my Pindo palm has rotted and died, the bottom half of the roots has rotted and the rot went up to the central spear. I could not save the Pindo palm, but upon closer inspection I found out my 2 Pygmy Date Palm started rotting too. Fortunately, they should be fine, I cut the rotted roots and repotted them. I know the main causes of root rotting are: - overwatering - lack of oxygen - fungi I don't think lack of oxygen was the problem in my case, because I buy soil (I usually mix half of special palm soil and half of general purpose indoor plants soil, because palm soil is pretty expensive)…

Leaf rotting (bacterial, fungal or other?)
by Inspire91- 1 follower
- 0 replies
- 53 views
Hello everyone! To be upfront I am very new to keeping palms and so it’s safe to assume I know zero about issues like these 😅 Whatever this is, it happens really quickly. The dark rotting color takes over the leaf in a matter of days. In some cases where I catch it early enough I chop that part off and that may or may not save it. It sometimes just keeps going down the leaf till it’s taken the whole thing. My guesses are it’s either edema from overwatering, fungal or bacterial. Here is some info on their location and care: 1. I douse them with daconil once a month. The whole plant, leaves and stalk. 2. I don’t think that I over water, I’m very mindful to…

Container Foxtail Palm Growth Speed?
by Blayne- 1 follower
- 1 reply
- 75 views
I’ve had this foxtail since last summer and has since rooted very well in the container and is now beginning to grow rapidly! Just opened a new frond and already has a new spear and great stem extension! How tall can these get in containers and how fast will it get to say 4 feet of trunk or so? When should I repot this? This summer or next?

Is this pot too small for this bottle palm?
by adrock0211- 1 follower

I could get a slightly bigger pot, but the space wouldn't even be appropriate for too much bigger. I'm wondering how this bottle palm will do in that tight of a pot. Perhaps it would get rootbound very quickly? Looking for some guidance. Thanks.

Seedlings turning super light green (almost gray)?
by OriolesRock100- 1 follower

I have seedlings of various palm species (sabal palmetto, washingtonias (prob all hybrids but supposedly were some of each), and a phoenix canriensis) all of which I germinated inside and grew to about their current size. I then moved them outside a week or two ago since it has been getting quite warm outside, highs in the 70s and lows in the 50-60s, although it did rain a couple days in a row. Then (most of) my seedlings starting lightening to this grayish, dull light green color, and the strap leaves are curling up a bit (I know this is a sign of stress from the plant but can’t determine specific cause). The only one that doesn’t seem to be doing this is the canariensis…

Potential Rot?

Hi all, My Lady Palm (Rhapis excelsa) seems to have had a tough winter. I've recently put it outside on my shaded porch, but it is still having trouble with new growth. The pictures i've included should demonstrate my problem. Any advice on how to improve the situation? My largest stems seem to be in the process of rot.

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.

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

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…

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…
