Separating Caryota mitis cluster
by BeyondTheGarden- 4 replies

Went on a plant buying binge today. Found this ~2 or 3 gal for $70. I'd like to pull a few out and use as glorified annuals in ground. What do you think the odds of survival are? I don't know how root sensitive they are. Can't find anything from a quick Google search. I figure I'll soak the rootball and just try to coax a few out.

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…

A few more palms to be planted when ready
by happypalms- 0 replies

As with any collection of plants they need to be grown to a plantable size before planting into an established garden the problem for new plants is the competition from the advanced plants competing for light and moisture also the danger for the new plants is falling branches and dropping palm leaves flattening them on the spot they also need to marked with some sort of bright tape for future watering and maintenance making it easier to see them in the established jungle garden hopefully one day the new garden plants will look as beautiful as the established one

I need to repot my Trachycarpus palms. I have access to the following materials: vermiculite, perlite, Pumice, lava rocks, sand, rock dust, sandy loam soil, compost, peat moss, Coco coir. I was thinking to just mix something like this: 2 parts peat and 1/2-1 part perlite then add some osmocote and other goodies for nutrients. What do you guys think?

Subject: Phoenix roebelenii. Potted. Multi (4) palms in a 15 gallon pot. Over wintered in a well light unheated garage. Temps never below 48°F (9°C). Watered sparingly. during the cooler months Moved outside during the warmer parts of the day. Lives outdoors during the suitable months. The affected parts of the petioles develop this issue, choking off the remainder of the fronds. This is the third frond in 3 days. I have removed them below the affected areas and treated with H₂O₂. Any hints or answers appreciated. Regards.

I’m struggling with my first two ruffles fan palms. One is beyond saving it’s deteriorated to almost dead in a week. I’ve asked for advice at local plant shop and they gave me a couple things to try. The other one now has green veins showing so I’m worried it has what the other one has. I’m not an experienced plant person so I’d appreciate any advice on how to save the second one because they are wonderful. Thank you so much!

Growing Syagrus werdermannii in pots.

This palms seems to grow in a very sandy soil when I look at habitat pictures of this dwarf Syagrus. Is it a dificult plant needing special soil requirements? I have bought a small seedling and right now it is growing in a good draining organic rich soil. My climate is too cold to grow this palm outside so it will have to spend it's life in a pot. For the first few years I will give it some extra love in winter with a grow light during the darkest months untill it is a little more grown up. Any information about growing this species in pots is welcome. Soil requirements, water, light and temperatures requirements, etc.....

Good morning, In a few weeks I will be potting up my community pot of Sabal miamiensis. I've been digging around and searching the site a bit; but I just figured I would cut to the chase and ask for advice on what a good mix would be. I have a bunch of components around and was figuring I'd head to a couple stores for additional materials. What I currently have is: Coco coir peat Pearlite lava rock (small) "play sand" Topsoil from my local garden center (mostly sand, loam and mulch/ bark/ organics. I've put many many yards of this stuff in my yard over the years). Thanks for your thoughts.

Hedyscepe Canterburyana as a Houseplant!
by ZPalms- 1 follower
- 9 replies
- 419 views
Back in September, I was looking for a palm that would work best as a houseplant, and on September 25, 2023, @Darold Petty messaged me asking if I would like to experiment with a Hedyscepe as a houseplant. And of course, I said yes because that would make such a unique and fun experiment, and I'm really grateful to have a chance to try one of these. Not too long after, it arrived, and I was able to pop it into a clear plastic cup so I could see the roots develop, which Darold already had sprouted when he sent it to me with a tiny sprout on it. I didn't change anything for this palm, and I didn't give it any special lighting other than what it gets from the window. Th…

I've been storing all of my 3gal potted minors in my basement for the winter, but in years past I think I may have waited longer than needed to bring them back outside. I'd like to get them out as soon as possible where I know they will be much happier, but I'm worried that any remaining freezes could get to their roots and harm the plants. Does anyone have experience or know what temperatures potted minors can withstand? Here's my forecast for the remainder of February:

Fertilizer for indoor seedlings

I've used a mix of slow release, Jobes palm food, and fish emulsion/seaweed/humic acid in the past but is there anything in particular that's awesome for small indoor seedlings? The fish and seaweed stuff doesn't smell all that great. I guess it wouldn't be an issue if I didn't have to keep these plants in my bedroom due to cats and kittens, and Sancho would eat the Jobes lol.

Some of the prices are way to expensive but it doesn’t hurt to look 👀. Right! There was a few that weren’t to bad of a price.

Fertilizers for coir (coconut substrate)

- 227 views
Hi. I would like to hear about your experiences and opinions about fertilizers for coir. My go-to fertilizer if not coir is one that exists only in my country (Sweden), called "Blomstra", it is liquid, one component, developed by the Swedish agricultural university in 1950, and the guy I know of responsible for developing it (Tom Ericsson) has recommended to use it every watering (half dose) and that principle seems spread among other believable persons, like the American Orchid Society. But you should then know Sweden is full of peat and all potting soil has >90% peat, it is understood, persons like me who try coir are weird, and nobody uses bark at all ever. …
