Christmas/Adonidia palms as indoor/outdoor palms
by oasis371- 7 replies
- 711 views
How do growers who live in non-tropical regions feel about growing Adonidia/Christmas palms as containerized indoor palms? I am thinking about buying one tomorrow. All my palms spend the growing season outside from April through October, but can't overwinter this one in my chilly but frost free garage (as I do with the Washys, Queens, Butias, etc.). How do Christmas palms overwinter in a northern home. My light is decent even in midwinter as I face due south and I have fluorescent banks of light in a warm basement. Have not had the best of luck with this species, perhaps because of watering issues.

CIDP overpotted or not?
by MSX- 1 follower

Hello Palmtalkers! This CIDP is my first palm grown in a container that will be a nice addition to a patio, with the option of moving it inside in the winter (7B/8A zone). I need your expertise in the following question - I got this CIDP a month ago in a 3 gallon (12 litres) nursery pot. The top diameter of the nursery pot was 28cm x 26cm height so the root ball is. The roots were growing out of the bottom of the pot and lifting the entire palm right out of the pot, so I repotted it in a new 17 gallon (65 litres) plastic pot. The new pot is 50cm wide and about 22cm (8.6 inches) larger across than the nursery pot and approximately 13cm (5 inches) deeper than the root ball …

Clear/Translucent pots
by JohnAndSancho- 5 replies
- 286 views
Any negatives to using clear/translucent pots? A handful of my babies are in soda bottles/clear cups and the like and I kind of dig being able to see the roots. I'm assuming there could be some consequences if I were to put a rootbound palm in full sun or something, maybe. But I had a handful of big palms in black nursery pots on concrete in full brutal Texas sun, too and they loved it.

Coccothrinax seedlings
by David_Sweden- 2 replies
- 978 views
End of August 2016 I got 10 Coccothrinax Miraguama seeds from Zadengigant and 15 Rhapis Multifida from Seedman. One week later I discovered that Rarepalmseeds had just gotten some fresh Cocco M so I bought 30 of them plus 30 Cocco Fragrans (but got ~20% extra). In September I "planted" most of them in ziplock bags with damp paper towel (1-2 each) except 21 Cocco F and 33 Cocco M from RPS which I dumped collectively in 2 bags with moist soil. By Oct 16th the first had germinated: Two Cocco F and on Cocco M from RPS. In December I moved them germinated ones to "rootrainers" 10cm deep: 8 Cocco M and 21 Cocco F, of which 1+5 from paper towel bags. None had leaves …

Coccothrinax seedlings help

Hello everyone. I'm kind of panicking, because I've had these seedlings for almost a year now and their little strap leafs have folded over like how some seedlings of mine do when they're about to croak. I've been watering diligently and they are in sandy loamy fast draining soil. They've been under bright lights, but I had to move them for a day or two. Are they toast? :(

Coco pots

Has anyone used coco pots (pots from compressed coconut coir) for seedlings? What's your feedback? I read that when the plant needs a bigger pot you can just bury the old pot in the new, bigger one without removing it, which saves the plant the transplant shock.

Coconut in Montana

So a little over two years ago I was on Maui and was able to get a sprouted coconut (about 2 inches) back to my home in Montana. Last spring it grew large enough to hit my ceiling. I had a large LED grow light over it but once it grew large enough, it just shot fronds past it. Admitting it was likely the end, I put it outside during the summer. It survived, despite some of the fronds dried out from Montana's very dry climate near the mountains. However, its growth greatly slowed and I was able to bring it back in during the fall. Well, as summer approaches, the coconut palm is still alive. So basically, how long can I slow its growth without killing it?

Coconut palm I ordered online turning brown
by Palmsareawesome- 3 replies

This is my coconut tree that I ordered online when I first unwrapped it and a week later after repotting it. When I took it out of its original pot I noticed the roots were cut to fit the pot. Does anyone know what it’s turning brown from. I was thinking maybe transplant shock. Will it be able to survive?

This is for fun and I know this will probably most likely end in the death of the tree but as an experiment I'm gonna go ahead and give it a grow and see how long I can keep it alive, I picked up a coconut from the store and will start germinating it today and will post updates here.

Coconut Palm Question

Hi guys, I was wondering what might be wrong with my coconut palm. His newest leaves are much more yellow looking than his oldest. I've had this palm for a little over a gear now and he is just starting to yellow. I have been feeding him miricle grow with a 2-1-1 ratio (water dissolve) for about 3-4 months and early this month added notice grow granular for palms and cactus. He still continues to yellow though. I've read that nitrogen deficiencies are big for potted palms and this is one way they show it. But I am not sure if is the issue because of the fertilizer I am giving it. I also water the palm every day because it's summer so it's outside now and it's hot an…

Coconuts thriving in Málaga

Hi there! I'm new in the forum. I live in Málaga (Spain) and I'm the proud father of 2 coconut palms. They are placed in south-west facing balcony, and the orange one is 2 years old. The second one, much smaller, is only one, bought this past spring. Has well grow rate as well. They are the typical ones imported from Holland to grocery shops to Europe. The orange one started to pinnate this year, since the last year which I brought him home. They have been feeding palm fertilizer since the very early growing season, and I stop fertilizing them last week. As the temps start to decrease as well, they will be going indoors more or…

Hey everyone. Most of you know I’m up north. Southern Ontario. Love the hobby and am an avid coco- nut! I have been doing all kinds of germinating experiments. And just growing experiments. Up to date my palm room has been very dry due to. Obviously furnace is on. Second basement is cool so i have heat running 24/7. (Oil radiator ) room always kept in mid to upper 70s. So my very first coconut. Which was a store bought germinated is now over a year old. It has had its ups and downs. It was easy the first 6 months when it was small to keep it humid and warm. During the summer it did well here. Daytime temps of 31c and humid and we get 15 hours of daylight in summer m…

Hi! I already posted about my coconut in this topic - But I decided to make a seperate topic to document updates on my coconut. My coconut was bought from a local supermarket (Plodine) on 17th May 2023. The coconut was perfect when I bought it, but unfortunately the day I bought it it was unusually windy and cold for that time of the year. The coconut suffered damage shortly after as I was exiting the store. One leaf was broken and it’s still on support, other leaves soon after had some browning. I kept it in my apartment in a not so bright location in its original soil for the time being. I repotted it on May 21 first into a plastic (possi…

Coffee Grounds?

I was wondering if anyone uses coffee grounds in their palms? I've seen mixed reports but I know that too much can cause high acidity. I don't have the ability to compost, so I try to use biodegradable things as natural ancillary fertilizer when I can (ie. egg shells for calcium). Thoughts?

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 …
