Serenoa Repens water needs


Rafael

Recommended Posts

After reading several information sources (including some old threads here) i decided to almost turn off the sprinkle irrigation on my new serenoa (around 15 gal, potted and shade house grown in south of Spain - and planted in February) during the summer.

What a mistake. It started to dry out and almost bit the dust. Thats when i decided to water it consistently. And after a couple of rain summer days it started to recover.

Just one more thing: it is planted in a clay/sand mixed soil.

I hope this helps someone in the future :)

You should have asked me, because I grow a silver one in the ground, which fruits almost every year. I also grow five green seedlings in a community pot in my cold frame where is damp and hot; they receive overhead irrigation through sprinklers every day and so fat they are doing fine!

BUT! They'll take SOME drought, but not much. Water if you can.

Save the berries for Senor Prostate. (OLe!)

I have seen them in swamps but also on sand dunes that are high and dry --- dry waxy leaves suggest they can take drought as well as being able to grow in sand --- alot of the swamp growing ones weave along the ground and have roots right at the surface ( this might be an adaptation for flooding--- my opinion tho) yu may want to closely match how you grew them until they acclimate

Best regards
