Cyrtostachys renda indoors 1 2 3
by Zeeth- 5 followers

I haven't got one yet, but I'm thinking about getting a Cyrtostachys renda seedling to grow in a pot outside and take it in for the winter. Should I only take it in when temps get below 50, and back out as soon as it heats up, or should I just take it in all winter? How much sun, how much water, will it even survive long with the low indoor humidity? Thanks, Keith

I’m making this to keep track and share my experience growing this coconut palm here in North Carolina. I have grown Cocos here in the past and have been a bit lazy on overwintering them but this time I plan on going all out with it later on when winter sets in. But until then i will post updates on the spring/summer growth of this palm. Wish me luck!

Coconut palm I ordered online turning brown
by Palmsareawesome- 3 replies
- 221 views
This is my coconut tree that I ordered online when I first unwrapped it and a week later after repotting it. When I took it out of its original pot I noticed the roots were cut to fit the pot. Does anyone know what it’s turning brown from. I was thinking maybe transplant shock. Will it be able to survive?

Seedling setback
by Frond-friend42- 3 replies

My Chrysalidocarpus (dypsis) leucomalla was doing so well. I learned early on it doesn't like any extra water but I think I still hurt it by watering it to soon and it's having a tough time recovering. I moved it to a spot where I think it gets more indirect light but less from the south. Before injury (I think from watering early) and after:

Hello and thanks for reading I have a temperature controlled tropical glasshouse in western Pennsylvania. I have a total of 10 palms including 2 phoenix roebelenii....all have been in my glasshouse about 3 years. I think I am losing one, but I can't be certain. It appears to be getting far more yellowing on the fronds than it has in the past. As well, the new seeds are brown and quite dry (crispy). The other is also growing seeds now, but they look very good. I am attaching two photos in hopes someone can advice me. Is this is fact dying? Can it be saved? Or should I be seeking a replacement? Many tha…

Why is my majesty palm still tipping over
by Ashiarobinsonfloyd- 7 replies
- 1k views
I repotted my majesty palm about 2months ago because is was root bound to its pot I bought it in. But as I rotate it so that all parts get sun I notice it still kind of tips over, even in this pot that is big enough. Should I ajust the position of it in the pot and push it down further into the pot. Or is this normal ?

Repotted Phoenix dactylifera Seedling
by PalmTreeDude- 8 replies
- 2.3k views
This Phoenix dactylifera seedling needed to be repotted about a year ago from the little cup I first put it in. Finally got around to it and just wanted to show you it. Grown from seed out of a store bought date and it stretched, I need to give it more sun. My potting mix didn't drain at all so I had to mix topsoil with sand.

How many gallons to water?
by adwizard- 3 replies
- 525 views
Hi, I just had a 16 foot silver bismark transplanted in my front yard. I was reading an article that basically said if your bismark came in a 25 gallon container, you should use about 25 gallons of water a day to keep it watered and healthy for the first month or so. So what would the gallon size of water be for a 16 foot bismark? Any ideas? It was transplanted in a well drained area and professionally installed. I've been spraying water gently around the tree and when the water starts to pool on the sand I let it seep through the sand and quit. I don't know if that's enough water or not for a tree that size. Any ideas? Thanks, I appreciate your advice.

I think somebody in my street died.. and he or she had a potted Trachycarpus Fortunei (maybe Waggie, couldn't tell, but Fortunei is more common) that likely wasn't watered for a week or two. Sad story, but since I am a palm enthusiast I am trying to save this Fortunei. Can it be saved? Here are the images: The spear looks firm, but it was completely deviolated otherwise. I cut off the brown fronds and kept the spear. I also root pruned it as I fear the dead roots could cause rot (maybe this wasn't a good idea..).

Help with a Transplanted Potted Sabal Palm :)
by Another_Conquistador- 9 replies
- 293 views
I already have a Majesty and Cat Palm that have been doing great so I’m familiar with the beginner species inside. I’m from South Florida and moved to West Georgia and I’m very common with Sabal Palms, their care, flowering, fruit, et cetera. But I’m not familiar with potting and am told it’s very difficult. I got back from a trip to Savannah & Tybee Island, and I wanted to come back with a Sabal Palm. I was walking in Bonaventure Cemetery, and some workers cleaning around a Mausoleum pulled one up roots and all so I took it. I’m enclosing a photograph of it in my car lol It’s older obviously as it has a trunk, it seemed a little dry so I have it in a t…

HELP ME PLEASE! DYING WASHINGTONIA BABY!
by jruffd13- 6 replies
- 305 views
Good Morning to all my Palm friends, This is "Mateo"Ruffner, he is a Washingtonia Robusta, he was born with a bunch of Robustas that I got from seed at the Jupiter Inlet in Florida. He was growing really well this summer outside then I put him indoors in the winter. On 12/1 I noticed he wasn't shooting up a new frond and there were a TON of little red bugs on the plant, I killed them with neem oil (but it seems like the neem was killing it and maybe making the leaves yellow). I think it was root rot because it wasn't getting enough drainage, (I was an idiot and put a lot of perlite at the bottom of the pot thinking it would help drainage but it blocked the water…

Hello everyone, looking for some advise on keeping’s these two “flame thrower palms alive in the office. We keep the office temperature around 55-60° at night and 68-72° during the day. Resident of Livingston California zone 9b...they are next to a window to get some sunshine, and I do take them out for some sun if its warm enough. How othen should they be watered? Currently in some Homedepot palm mix, I added some perlite for drainage. no fertilizer added..once spring comes around, thinking of doing foliage feeding and slow release palm fertilizer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also trying to keep a Dypsis Mayotte alive in the office.

I collected some Mexican Fan Palm seeds in Phoenix Arizona last year. I was not expecting much but I put them in some soil and waited for anything. They sprouted sure enough and here is my biggest one. I have been growing this palm since January of this year. It is now almost a year old and the leaves are starting to become jagged.

Anyone else have a jungle inside?

Last winter there was a bunch of other filler plants in here too. Now this entire room is stuffed with nothing but palms, a little line of cactuses on the window sill and the 2 bigger cactus on the side yes. The shelves of seedlings is out of control, all of this outside is one thing, stuffed into the same room is eye opening. Won’t be able to do this another year, seriously have to get this greenhouse finished by this time next year. Definitely a cool spot to hangout in during the winter.

How many hours a day do you run your lights?
by Chester B- 32 replies

Pretty simple question, but I didn't see any topics on it. So how long are you running your lights indoors? Most of my palms are smaller ones that I am growing out that will eventually be planted outside. Primarily Sabals and a few hybrids.

Has anyone had luck growing Bismarkia long term in a giant pot or raised planter box? I've heard they have a very deep tap root, but would a 24" deep x 5' square container work? Guess there's just one way to find out...

From Picked Chinese Fan Palm Seed to 14 months of Growing
by orlandozone9b- 4 replies
- 1.5k views
In October of 2021 I picked around 10 very unripe Chinese Fan Palm Seeds from a family members home. I then placed all in a ziplock bag in wet paper towels. I changed the paper towels weekly until 1 sprouted, around 90 days after picking from the tree. I then transplanted the seedling to a small pot, then transplanted to the pot seen in the pictures here. I live in Florida 9b, my question is, from this stage how long should I wait till I plant outside in my yard?
