Recommended Posts

Hello,

I`m from germany and often get seedlings from the USA, Thailand and Australia. The seedlings reach me after 5-14 days of shippingtime most in damp moss.

In the past I often had problems with arrection.

Can anyone give me some tips how I have to treat them?

Thank you

Peter

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Peter,

I plant them straight away and make sure they get plenty of water. Not letting the medium dry out for the first week or two might be critical for their survival.

You might want to ask if the plants sent to you were grown in full sun or shade...

I always try to find out the "exact" environment they were grown in, temperature, humidity, light and try to replicate that as closely as possible.  I also usually soak the roots in a root growth stimulant prior to potting up as well as adding the same stimulant to the water when watering the newly potted plants.

It must be the 5-14 days of shipping time.  I've received a LOT of palms shipped bare root, and I can't think of any that died as a result of the shipping.  Also, I've never been very carefull with any of these palms.  I think the key is that they were only in transit for 2-3 days.

There was a good article by Jeff and Suchin Marcus in the last issue of "PALMS" that included some aftercare advice.  Maybe someone with a better memory than me can elaborate.  I think it partially included a antifungal soil drench and Superthrive application.  Also, an antitranspirant maybe....can't remember exactly....glad to be of no help..... :o

upon reciving them...i use  banrot 40%  the wettable powder. in your local garden center tho it might not be available, you should check for a broadspectrum fungicide like captan.... there used to be one called triple action in the yellow and brown label it was pretty good stuff.

I was under the impression that palms are far less keen on bare root transportation than cycads, which will happily survive 7-14 days.  From what I've read palms should be kept bare rooted for the minimal time possible.

A soak in Superthrive would not hurt either B)
