happypalms Buying plants again
happypalms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
Tracking them down would be the hard part for you. Seeds are available at certain times but have to be viable to start with. Definitely worth growing! -
Chop it up or let it ride?
happypalms replied to JohnAndSancho's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palms
By all means propagate it, you just never know who wants to buy it. A lot of people prefer online buying or it’s not available in there area. You just never know your luck. -
Guidance has trended colder in the past 36 hours or so. This is shaping up to be a freeze for the Panhandle. NWS currently forecasting a low of 33F for Monday night. Looks like it may warm up pretty quickly after that before getting cool again to start the month of March. Being cold in Florida multiple times during the winter season is not a new thing. Y'all have gotten lucky more than anything in the past decade down south. I would be grateful to live in the areas of central Florida thats been trashed on so much in this thread. I am still thankful to be located in NW FL, where many palms can be grown. Sometimes it pays to just be thankful for what you have instead of being upset about what you cant have. My Queens are fried, my bizzy might not make it, my lady palm spear pulled, my washies are burnt, but... here is my super mule, looking like winter never happened: For that, I am thankful.

RARE beige Bismarckia
OutpostPalms replied to PalmBossTampa's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
I knew what this post was going to be haha. I had the beige ones last year. 23 is rough on them but usually survivable. -
Interesting. With the amount of rain I get warm temp / high humidity mine rot easy. Good news is once they trunk my spear stopped pulling.
-
Mine pulls every year but quickly regrows I don’t treat it with anything

Red Abyssinian new leaves are brown
Silas_Sancona replied to Ashley S's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palms
Banana = big leaves, which = perfect places for bugs to hang out on ...good and not so good ones. As long as the Mealies or White Fly aren't covering them, it's perfectly normal to fine a few of each hanging out on a leaf here and there every so often. Start seeing more? pick up and apply some Neem Oil or Insecticidal Soap to effected areas. A good, occasional spray w/ the hose can also knock down mealy bugs. -

@metalfan by any chance do you have a corm hookup? I guess aroids are my current "gotta have it" obsession and it looks like the best prices are on mystery boxes and I'm not a huge fan of surprises. I want a mix of color and obscenely huge stuff, I kinda have an idea of what I want but if I can find a plug vs buying from randos on eBay that's the way I'd prefer to go. - Today

Welp I apparently pulled that pup too early, and the Ensete is in a pile of coir and perlite somewhere in the yard. It's not funny but it's funny how instead of red clay from deep under the soil and grass, all the new fire ant beds look like coir and they pick the perlite out. I've also started an empty pot graveyard pile from everything I've killed lately (mostly store bought mango seeds that molded) that need to be cleaned out. I still need to put the Dacca on the floor and rearrange that whole side of the room, but I just haven't had the energy. -
Looks like there is a good chance spear will pull on your Butia/Jubaea x Queen. Spear pulled on mine last year 18°f consecutive days. I treated with copper fungicide but trunk still wanted to rot. I had to cut trunk back and find good tissue. It pulled through but barely hanging in there.

JohnAndSancho replied to JohnAndSancho's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palms
Didn't know that. Is it worth it to keep something around you can buy at Wal Mart though? I mean the value in this particular plant is its size right now. -
Ngl I'm scared to go to Lowes right now. I'm gonna walk out with something I don't have room for. I'm already eyeballing my benches seeing how I can stack them into shelves to free up more space, so I can build more. Spring can't get here soon enough for me, man.

Thank you, friend, for contributing seeds and sharing the love through these beautiful palm trees. In Chile, CITES has already been issued, prohibiting the sale of seeds, seedlings, and palm trees of Juabaea chilensis abroad. The world will still obtain supplies, but not from Chile. RPS in Germany managed to make the last purchase and shipment to replenish their stock.

Beccariophoenix Alfredii, recently transplanted
FlaPalmLover replied to Golden10's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
I am not sure what they should've done, but I don't love how they handled your purchase either. It seems like they could've at least discounted you a portion of the purchase price to account for the cold damage.
