I maintain a number of large Rhapis excelsa in containers in pool lanais, pool decks and porches. I have no issues with any of them except four plants located in large stoneware pots on a paved pool deck growing in full sunlight. They’ve been in place for nearly a year and we’re doing well until we had two cold spells here in central Florida back in late December/early January. Since then the existing foliage has become severely chlorotic (almost white) and the new foliage that is growing in now is doing the same. They were fertilized with Sunniland palm fertilizer about two months ago and got one application of Peters 20-20-20 since then. I suspect a pH issue but th…

Washingtonia Robusta in 3.6 gallon pot
by killer_chili- 1 follower

So I guess my main question is; I have a Washingtonia robusta in a 3.6 gallon pot. I live in a temperate climate zone 6B as well. My tree is far from mature and I’m wondering what is the lowest temperature this palm should ever tolerate? I usually get the Washingtonia out on the deck when the weather is above 70 F (21.1 C) for that extra sunlight but the weather has been mild lately. I’m wondering, since I have such a young tree, is 55 F - 60 F is too cold?

Hello everyone, i am new to the hobby. I picked up two windmill palms last year. They grew decent. Just picked up two more this year. For some reason they seem to be getting brown and yellow toward the ends and they are not growing as well. I fertilized them at the beginning of this season And i try to water them once a week. I am just a little lost on how to care for them at this point. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Greenhouse shade cloth %?
by teddytn- 2 followers

Definitely going to have my greenhouse up and going this year before winter. Plan on keeping most plants in pots in the greenhouse year-round. I’m not so concerned about winter, I’ve got a plan for that, more concerned about continuous 90f+ days and blazing overhead sun in the summer. I’ve been in quite a few greenhouses during summer with literally oppressive heat inside. Planning on getting 40% shade cloth. Any one have experience using shade cloth and or have any recommendations with ornamentals (palms, cactus, yucca, agave)?

Because they just fall over all the time! Easy to make from corrugated plastic vegetable boxes that your grocery store may have in the back. They're not strong enough on their own, but if you take a box knife and double the interior they work fine. Cutting hand holes to line up on the interior pieces and then taping them together improves it's strength. Cutting away the sides allows sun to reach seedlings.

Germination Tips!? Joey palm
by Makaisland Palms- 3 followers
- 29 replies
- 3.4k views
Has anyone got any tips for germinating Joey palm seeds? (Johannesteijsmannia altifrons specifically). Standard baggie method? In a community pot? If so, buried how deep, and is there a top or bottom to the seed I should aim in one direction? I searched quite a bit and couldn't seem to find anyone mentioning much about this, at least step by step. If I've missed a useful thread somewhere else please point me in the right direction, thanks!

Hey Everyone, My name is David and I am very interested in growing the pigafetta species. I am really interested in them because they are so fast growing (that is why I love growing robusta but I heard these were even FASTER). Is anyone willing to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send me some seeds. I am willing to pay as well. I have looks on rarepalmseeds but they are always out of stock. I also have a lot of robusta and sabal seeds, so I am willing to make a trade. Thanks! David

I think I’ve figured out why most of my potted Palms succum
by IndoorPalms- 0 replies
- 259 views
Earlier this week, I tossed about 6 majesty, coconut and foxtail Palm trunk “seedlings” (considering the size the label says they’ll grow) 😂 into my fire pit. I still have a couple/few left, but I notice something different between my pots, and nursery pots they come in: The nursery pots have large drainage holes on both the bottom and sides. The root bound containers drain instantly of water. So it’s always either damp or dry. Leaving little room for water build up. Ive gone thru some pots that I’ve drilled holes thru, and even 10 holes that aren’t big enough, won’t prevent the issue. On some of my pots, I’ve started drilling holes on the sides as well. It see…

Jubaea Chilensis - spear pull
by The Converted- 4 replies
- 383 views
Evening all I was hoping someone might be able to provide some reassurance... I have a small, 5 year old JC. It was left out for much of the winter, albeit, undercover. On a couple of really cold (-9) nights it was moved into the conservatory. A couple of months ago I noticed that last years spears (which were still emerging) were starting to brown. I thought I would give them a gentle pull, and unfortunately they both pull straight out. I suspect the cold got to it given we had several weeks where even day time temps barely got above freezing. After my initial panic / disappointment I order some Hydrogen Peroxide and treated the growing point every coup…

Chamaedorea anemophila seedlings not doing great
by fotodimatti- 9 replies
- 660 views
Dear palm friends! Whats wrong with my seedlings? I was rather lucky germinating a RPS batch of Chamaedorea anemophila seeds a year ago. But most of the seedlings seem to suffer a bit. They show brown tips. I grow them indoors in non-direct light in moist soil with good drainage. With temperatures of 16-18 degrees Centigrade in the night and up to 20 degress in the daytime. In the winter I push the air humidity to around 60% with the help of an air humidifier. Some specimen I have even put into a mini greenhouse with 80-95% air humidity. But almost all of them show brown leaf tips. I grow other understory palm trees with much more success in the very sa…

Areca Palm Struggling Indoors

I have this Areca palm that was kept outdoors last summer in Illinois, USA. It did well and was repotted in August 2022 into a very large pot, maybe 18” diameter and 20” tall. Once the temperature started dropping in October 2022, it was brought indoors for the winter. It has been watered every 10-14 days, and given Palm Tone fertilizer twice since then, once in winter and once recently The leaves have some discoloration, which I think is just old leaves that need to be trimmed. The color looks alright, not great. But I am concerned because it shot out a new leaf a few weeks ago, but it hasn’t opened up yet. Any help would be appreciated! I think the weathe…

My seconda coconut palm

This od my seconda coconut palm, which I bought on May 7, 2022. At first it was pretty, but then it caught a spider mite and I can't get rid of it with any chemicals. The leaves slowly turn yellow. Do these roots look healthy? I spray the palm with warm water almost every day. He has a very clear position. I water every 7-10 days because the root ball dries slowly. The soil is permeable. Palm pot, drainage with holes at the bottom. I live in Poland, so it's not like Florida or California.

What pots should I get
by PashkaTLT- 1 follower
- 6 replies

Hello guys, So I get my palms in those black nursery containers with holes at the bottom. I assume I need to put those nursery containers in some good looking pots? And those external looking pots should have no holes (otherwise how do I water my palms inside?)? But if the external pots will have no holes, there's a chance that too much water will stay at the bottom?
