Potted successes - so far…

Livistonia chinensis - two in 14” pots, one in the ground. They need root space. I have one in the ground WAS a beautiful potted houseplant - okay for two years. However, it started to fail indoors. It’s a very easy plant so I know that my inside light and environment won’t cut it. It is now quite happy in the ground and growing well. SO easy that I am growing 2 more as potted ones but Outside plants. So far so good, even over the Christmas freeze - with No protection! I was really surprised. Dypsis decaryi - I potted this tree in order to maintain its size to a moderate height. Ive had it in this 24” pot for going on 3 years. It has become a perennial (see my…

Desperate to save these seeds!
by VikkiP- 4 replies

Greetings. This is my first post here after a nice read of several posts. My parents were active IPS members and I inherited a bag of palm seeds including Tectiphiala ferox, Sabal maritiama, Arenga australasica, Actinorhytus calapparia, Dypsis lanceolata, and Coccothrinax argentta as well as some unlabeled seeds. I don't know how old these seeds are but they are certainly not "fresh". I want to try to start at least some of these seeds, knowing that I cannot grow them to maturity. I do, however, have a 35 year old Washingtonia that is essentially a bonsai growing here in Michigan, it's only 4 feet tall and summers outdoors/winters indoors. I also grow a few var…

Yellow and pale looking leaves on my Cyrtostachys renda

After a close inspection, I’ve noticed some of my indoor palms are looking a little pale. My Cyrtostachys renda which was looking really good indoors until recently had started sporting these yellow splotches. I know I had a spider mite outbreak recently so I assumed it was down to that. When I look closer though, I am not so convinced spider mites are the only issue I’m facing here. Could this yellowing coupled with some brown tips be a fungal issue?

My large lipstick palm doesn’t look healthy. It may have been too much direct sunlight but I also noticed some small spots under the leaves. Seems like tiny black lines in the grooves. Any idea what this is or if it’s bad for the palm?

Hi guys. Does this coconut palm have a chance to put out a leaf yet? I overdid it 2 weeks ago. The roots are thick and healthy. She looked like this before.

Good Afternoon Friends, I just had a quick question: The DC area is experiencing temperatures of 50-60 F during the day but it dips down to near below freezing at night 34-43F. Is it okay if I leave my potted robustas and trachys outside at night, they are all about 10 months old? I have been leaving them outside but taking them in at night.

Water Quality Studies for Palms in Pots
by Frond-friend42- 1 reply
- 281 views
I picture Utah having very hard water. High carbonate in the soils you can see in concentric circles around here. Taking off from different tips I realized I needed water with a lower pH and read somewhere that Spring water is good for plants (?) It has "things in it" that plants love", I was told. So I've been buying Spring Water for my tropical palms, and then for my more harsh-environment (Cuba, desert) palms I've been using tap water. I also have been going to an "artesian well" where the water is free and filters through large sheets of rock. Seemed like a good natural source equivalent to spring water. The desert, tap water plants I also tend let dry out more t…

Potting Mix
by SailyJ- 8 replies
- 3.9k views
Has anyone had success growing palms in a chunky aroid mix or super chunky epiphyte soil such as used for hoya? I am wondering if sandy loam is absolutely necessary. I am looking to get a Kentia Palm. I have not had luck repotting palms in regular houseplant soil even with sufficient perlite so I think the extra oxygen chunky barky mix could possibly work. We don't have many supplies for palm trees such as sand in my local plant shop and I don't want to buy something like MiracleGro.

Hello all, I got my brand new lipstick palm around a month ago. Lots of new shoots coming up but two leaves have turned yellow/brown. Just a bit concerned. It’s outside during the day , and inside at night. ( Newcastle NSW ). Is there any special care advice that I should do at night ( Grow lamp?) It will be indoor all the time over winter and may have to get a grow lamp as a perfect spot might be hard to find in the house for light. appreciate any advice. Many thanks

Moved some palms around due to the sun continuing to lower in the sky until winter solstice! South facing balcony getting blasted with sun this time of year when suns path gets lower in sky! Regarding the 2nd picture of 2 coconut palms - the one on right side is getting sent to a friend with a house since it’s the only coconut palm not doing well. Will be replacing it with a phoenix roebelenii in next coming days!

Repotting Outdoor Dypsis Lutescens
by ewaforevah- 2 replies
- 637 views
I'm a newb, looking to this wonderful forum for advice. I picked up a bunch of 3gal and 7gal dypsis lutescens for outdoor privacy. Since it's in a concrete area, they will remain in a pot of some sort. Right now they're 4-5ft and I'll need them to reach the 6-8ft range. Do I need to repot them? I'm perfectly content leaving them in the black nursery pots if repotting isn't necessary. What are the potential issues if I do keep them in the original pots? If I do repot them, any tips, advice or good resources on how to do it? How tricky is it to do and not kill the palm? Thanks!

Should I be worried about root rot with this mox?
by Palmfarmer- 0 replies

Got some trachies. I put them in black gold type soil with some woodchips. I did this since I had one Trachy growing in that mix while the others in a fairly light and fast draining medium and the one with the black soil grew way faster. This mix drains fairly fast, but the soil stays moist very long. Allmost like growing in clay. Should I worry about root rot with this mix?

Hi growers of rainforest palms! What is your experience with the minimal relative humidity of the air for growing understory palms such as Kerriodoxa, Joey palm and tropical chamaedoreas? I read that they need high humidity. But how high is enough? 60%? 70% Are more adult palms more tolerante to dryer air than seedlings? Thanks

Pygmy date palm two spears pulled, frond pulled

I have three indoor pygmy date palms, two spears pulled and a green frond from the crown, i took a light to see what's going on, it looks all white in there, I think it may have been from cold damage from when it dropped to the 20s in november, it did show signs of growth after that and all the three of them recovered, but two weeks ago or a week I think, I was gonna prune them, but then I realized the fronds on one of the palms looked a bit off on it than the other two palms, and I checked the spears and both two spears pulled, they didn't smell, but they were as deep to the base of the trunk. Yesterday I checked it out, and a green healthy looking on the same palm in …

tall pots for seedlings
by miamicuse- 1 follower

I have seen some members here grow their palm seedlings in a tall pot, I am guessing 4"X4" square pots? These pots fit nicely together in a compact arrangement may be 4 to 6 in a row that fit snug in a rectangular tray. Do those come in a set? Like 24 pots + 1 tray? I tried googling for them but couldn't find them, I probably didn't use the proper keywords. Anyone care to steer me in the right direction or a place to get these at good prices?

Dypsis Plumosa Troubleshooting
by kevojax- 0 replies
- 328 views
I have a Dypsis Plumosa I purchased last summer. It's been chilling in this part-shade spot since then, only taking it indoors during the recent cold blast. Not fertilized yet this season, gets regular water, and all of a sudden these past couple weeks the whole plant is just turning from green to a greenish-brown. It has seen some cold (mid-30's at the lowest), though all three shoots have new fronds coming (though also brown-looking). Is this just the end of winter, or should I be concerned? Really love this one so want to catch anything problematic early and treat appropriately. I am planning on upping my pot size later this Spring. Thanks!
