It looks like temperature shock, growing in a warm spot, perhaps acclimating to its new home. Let it dry out and keep it in a warm position. Trim of the dying leaves. And as for a rain plan as long as it has good drainage I can’t see why you cannot just place it outside and treat it like any other container palm. Dont fuss over it they are as tough as nails.

I started a community pot of these to try in southern Germany. So far they're growing strong!

Got a couple hundred of them in tubes, they seem quite tough and easy to grow so far, already taking 5 degrees celcius this winter. No special protection just sitting outside. And showing good mottling at a young age!

Chamaedorea Ernest augustii, an old favourite of mine!

Iguanura wallachiana , dypsis minuta!

For me, the choice was to do the backyard to get the better temperature readings. Mine was purchased to give better reporting of the temperatures over time than I previously had. Either way, unless the yard is large and completely open, it's very difficult for a suburban home to meet the criteria for official weather reports. There is an Ambient Weather 2902 mounted on a 30-ft pole down the road that I am sure was done to monitor wind speed.

Are those trees in the back decidous? Is it a cold environment? Wishful thinking 😅

A rare flowering Australian plant, due to habitat lose and fires. This little flower is being seen less and less in my area. They are still in patches here and there, but those patches are getting smaller and smaller. Often seen on roadsides but due to grass cutting in those areas you don’t see them like you used too. It is illegal to pick them as they are a protected plant. They grow in sandy soil in coastal heath land. Such a magnificent flower, being pushed to ed

I just love them, such beautiful palms. And being an ocd collector they suit me just fine! Richard

Never employee him again! Remove the nails and get some pruning wound paint, at least seal the wounds. Oh and good luck!

Hello, Since I was in the middle school when the lockdown of covid 19, there was a double foxtail palms next to my house and i was just staring at the tree because it had me interest on it. So in 2021, I started to collect some of the foxtail seeds that were falling from the tree and start to plant with just using some basic pots, plastic bottles, and a regular soil that i took it direct from the backyard. There was a lot of attempts of me trying to grow it but they were all failed sadly. Then in 2022 until 2023, I bought some polybags and also some palm seedlings like coconut and rhapis excelsa from the local e-commerce and it was really cheap for the price like about less than a dollar so I thought it was a good deal. So I think for me it was really an adventurous experience😅

Those looks cool!, btw how is the temperature in your highland garden?

I planted these Veitchia joannis as small 4" pots last year and they are rockets in our cool montane tropical conditions growing next to our coast redwood trees.

Did you ever find one? I saw there was a seller on Etsy that currently has them. I can't personally vouch for the seller but it doesn't look like a scammer. I have one in the ground in 6b Missouri and it's kicking butt, nowhere near trunking yet but really starting to put on size. I purchased from ethical desert but it was several years ago. Good luck

I received a AW2902 for Father’s Day… Thoughts on roof vs backyard mounting? Backyard should make the anomometer useless, roof makes the thermometer less useful. What’s the better tradeoff?

I know many recommend removing the seed stalk. This may be true but I'm inclined to leave them,I figure the plant knows how to take care of itself and may make it prone to disease or fungus. Wisconsin, man you're one of the few on this forum who have it worse than me. 20 years is legit in Wisconsin. Personally I'd just keep doing what you're doing because it seems to be working

Right in the 🎯 bullseye. You could not ask for a better natural frame Tim.

@CocoPete yikes! I don't have any experience with this, but my first thought is that the rusty nail probably shouldn't stay there. Without the nail, maybe the wound would at least dry out with some sulfur powder and time. With the nail there, it doesn't have a chance tto "cure." I know a palm trunk won't ever really "heal" from a wound. But old cut tissue tends to dry out and turn grey, which might be better than nothing. The weeping would ordinarily be a sign of Thielaviopsis infection, but I'm not sure I'd assume that is the case.

@ck_in_fla yeah the two Royals I've been watching in the Lake Mary area are doing pretty well. The city abruptly cut down one Royal back in Februrary, and didn't give it a chance to recover. Almost all the Foxtails up this way died.
