So my seedling has been doing much better. I just wanted to know two things. 1) Do I need to trim off the dead leaves? If I do, can I grind them up and add them to the soil for the plant? 2) Are these weeds or are they small plants that are helpful for the seedling? Thank you,

Hello everyone, Great to find this place. I have had a chamaerops for a month, re-potted when i got it from the shop, and would like your advice as to the best way of taking care of the plant based on the issues i have encountered. - Leafs had some spots since i got it, maybe they have got a little worse; - There is some bending on some blades/leafs; - Tips seem to be brown on some leafs. Plant has so far had some really hot summer with over 35 celsius, it is exposed to sun most of the day and i have been watering every 2 days or so. Any advice would be welcome.

Livistona palms

Hi! I changed the pot for the palm trees, Livistona chinensis and Saribus rotundifonia, to a deep pot of ceramis - pine bark - leca mix 2/5 - 2/5 - 1/5. It had been in bad soil and in a low pot. I move it to the half shadow (2m from south window. Other is next to the other window. I had thrips (midsommer time) and I used systematic poison for my plants. Yesterday they came back (only one plant Strelitzia). I need to poison every plant again just for case. It's been about two weeks and I'm worried about my Chinensis palm; black spots and more leaves dying. I noticed today that I planted Livistona chinensis too deep and I taked extra soil away. I can see some th…

Any advice on overwintering a Coconut Palm in NC?

Hey y’all. Hope everyone’s having a great Friday so far. I am in need of some advice on overwintering a Coconut Palm I bought from a local grocery store back in May. When I bought it, I didn’t realize what I was getting into from what I’ve read from others online. I really would like to see it live, but I understand they are truly tropical palms. I live in Zone 6B in North Carolina. Is there anything I can do when it goes inside for the winter to better its chances for survival? Thanks.

Repot coconut palm?

Hi everyone. Can you wise palm-talkers guide me in repoting my 3 year old coconut. Should I bury the nut? Half bury it? Not bury it at all? It is currently in a very well draining mix of palm soil and orchid bark and has been doing great. I am usually pretty lax about reporting my other palms, but I love this little tree and do not want to hurt it. This is my first post after lurking forever! You guys are an amazing and knowledgeable bunch! Cheers! Kate

Grow lights - picture/discussion thread

Hey guys! I thought it would be cool to start a thread of grow light setups as well as just people's cool/creative indoor palm arrangements. I've installed a number of different grow lights in my place and wanted to share with you guys as well as just get a thread of pictures and discussion about what has/hasn't worked for us. I always love seeing what people do with their indoor space! Here's a list of the grow lights I've used: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1UAJP4JW5RVS8?ref_=wl_share The 75W Bozily ones are the most effective as far as par value, those are the main ones that I use everywhere. The other ones are less powerful but add a really nice ambi…

Adding marine sand to a potting mix
by SoulofthePlace- 1 follower
- 2 replies
- 331 views
What do you think marine sand will do to palm seedlings or small plants if marine sand is added to the potting mix while transplanting little palms? We don't have normal yellow construction sand available on the island and therefore everyone uses the grey marine sand (occasionally with some small shells) for construction purposes and after a few years salt crystals are coming out of the walls damaging painted surface etc. Now if I add say 30% of marine sand into the potting mix for better drainage along with perlite, do you think it can potentially damage the potted plants? The marine sand is piled up in the county enterprise and is for sale and it's there for an unknown …

Badly cut Phoenix Canariensis Please HELP!

Dear all, I found this great community by desperation! Today my father, God knows why, trimmed my two 18 year Phoenix Canariensis with a saw and this is the result. the plants live in central Italy west coast near Rome and the seaside, Zone 9b. Now at the end of July it is very hot with temperatures exceeding 32° C - 90° F This is an area where in past years this kind of palms have been decimated by red awl or rhynchophorus ferrugineus. What can I do? Thanks for helping

Easy Office Palm
by EvanM- 13 replies
- 910 views
Hi y’all, new to Palmtalk, currently have a Phoenix roebelenii and a Chamaerops humilis in outdoor pots at home (zone 8a, the Phoenix is garaged during winter nights). I’m looking to add a (low-maintenance) office palm to the mix. Office situation is as follows: - One large, east facing window (whose blinds I keep closed, so it’s rather dark). - AC is run at night during the summer, turned off during the day. I don’t run the heat in the winter, but my coworkers run theirs, so my office stays above 60 or so. Is there anything meeting these criteria? If not, what do I need to change? I’ve heard Chamaedorea elegans is pretty rugged, would that be a good plant …

Hi! I'm new here. I bought a small Phoenix canariensis 3 weeks ago, my intention is to plant it on the ground when it gets bigger. It came in a small plastic nursery pot and I left it there for a week so it could get used to it's new home and then repotted to a bigger terracotta pot. I live in Gijon, north of Spain and our weather is mild, rarely goes below 0°C during winter and is usually 19-23°C during summer, but it rains quite a lot. There are lots of Phoenix canariensis around, in parks, yards... My palm is on the porch, having full sun during the afternoon, and protected from the wind but not the rain. It looked pretty healthy except for some black spots in the base…

Christmas Palm in NYC Disaster - Pls Help!
by Sadplantmom- 3 replies

Hi all! Last fall, I acquired a large Christmas Palm that I brought to my apt in NYC. The palm started to rapidly decline, but I believe it was just shocked and getting used to the new environment. By spring it was opening up many new fronds and I was so happy that it wasn’t fully dead. I have been battling spider mites on this thing for months and unfortunately the mites have been winning. I have tried everything - spraying them down with water, neem oil, insecticidal soap, and most recently Nuke Em. Last month I brought the palm outside to begin spraying it with Nuke Em every two- three days, and three of my newest and biggest fronds snapped!!! I am so dev…

Hi! I bought a Dypsis lutenscens two monts ago. It was small and it came in a 17 cm/2L (I believe it's 7 inches/0.5 gallons aprox). I repotted it into a 26 cm/7L (10 inches/1.6 gallons). It doubled it's height and the roots are coming out of the drainage hole already. I also dislike the potting mix I used, it doesn't drain well enough. I learned a lot about soil mix recipes here and I'm now mixing it myself. All I can find is that Areca palms like to be a bit root bound and to repot eery 2-3 years but I don't think I should let any plant with the roots coming out of the drainage hole. What do you think? Should I repot it now or wait? What size would you recommend? I don…
