Any pics of young Howeas?
by Howeadypsis- 11 replies
- 2k views
I have this palm which I thought was a howea, but it turns out its a Dypsis. Not being a palm expert, but fairly knowledgeable about plants, I find it hard to seperate them, and the only pics of palms i find are mature trees. What I want is pics of house plant Howeas with the odd close up. Or maybe a site with such pics for ID purposes. Heres mine-I call it HoweaDypsis as I was unsure of its ID! close up of mottled stem: and a recently unfurled leaf:

When does sunburn start?
by BS Man about Palms- 7 replies
- 1.7k views
Well, due to my long hours lately, (8am-9pm roughly), I made a boo-boo in my "watering" of some of my "indoor " plants. These normally sit in a very bright area (SW facing) place in my unfinished upstairs and have been enjoying 80-90+ degree temps lately. Anyway, to water them, I take them out to the upstairs deck and water then leave to drain so it won't get wet "inside" (as much). Well, twice now over the past week or so, I have completely forgotton the palms and came home to look at my progress with a flashlight and find I left them out on my south deck! Granted I'm coastal and I didn't see any leaf burn when I pulled them in, but does it show fairly quickly or d…

Palm masters please ID this palm for me. Thanks! I bought this palm from Home Depot about 3 years ago. They just labeled it as 'tropical'. My guess is that it is some sort of dypsis or chamaedorea.

Palm Nursery
by BigFrond- 3 replies
- 1.6k views
I went to a palm nursery with a small stand in the front right off Twin Oaks Valley Road in San Marcos, CA, across from the golf course. The guy didn't have a lot of palm selection but he made it up in size and price. I bought two Chamaedorea hooperiana (trunking already) 6 feet tall for only $35 each, a gigas in 15 gal for $65, a Home Depot size Bizzie for only $60. BTW, he does have bigger bizzies at about 6 ft tall with 10-12" trunk diameter for only $287.

New Bottle Palm

- 2.6k views
I had to go to home depot this morning to buy some supplies to do some much needed lawn maintenance (yuck) and I came away with a new bottle palm. Why didn't someone tell me that palms were so addictive Anyway, it cost $16.99. Was this a good deal? Guess it doesn't matter since it was love at first sight anyway! Now all I have to do is hope that my wife does not notice the new planting... Little Bottle Palm with the group. Close up: Kris, sorry about the white balance!

I assume this will vary from plant to plant, but frequency of watering has often been discussed but quantity of water not so much. With all my plants being in pots, I was wondering if anyone meters water quantity by size of pot.

Pinanga coronata
by quaman58- 6 replies
- 1.7k views
Hey all, I've got one of these guys that's ground ready. I have a place in mind, but am a bit concerned about the amount of AM sun that it will receive, particularly in summer. During the longest days of summer it won't be shaded until 1:00 PM. Wintertime, probably by 11:00. I'm about 1-1/2 miles inland from the coast. Otherwise, I like the area I've picked because it stays nice & damp most of the time. Any thought from the experts? B/R's Bret
