Chamaerops Humilis - Mediterranean Fan Palm - Supporting my palm after splitting the twin trunks
by Shambra- 6 replies
- 208 views
Hi, i have a 15 year old Fan Palm which has been fantastic until the past 2 years when one side of the twin trunks has completed died. The live trunk is now growing with lots of brown leaves and doesnt seem to be thriving. I was advised to saw the dead trunk down to the base, which i have done today - but the roots have bound it all together so i am not able to split them apart. Please can you advise what i can do to ensure the health and growth of the live trunk that is left. I am in the north of England UK. Many thanks

North Carolina Royals

Started these from seed about a year ago, and let me tell you, they're not worth the time in northern areas outside of the tropics. During winter, they don't like being inside and practically stop growing. They need tons of light, and they're happiest when outside, but only when it's really hot. It takes them a moment to get back into gear growing after being moved outside and only start moving in the high heat of Summer. So, I can anticipate that these will never flourish without a greenhouse, high temperatures, and lots of light year-round. but, they do survive and I still enjoy having them, and this is what they look like.

What to expect for Trachycarpus Fortunei growth in pot
by killer_chili- 1 follower

I have a glorious and fast growing Trachycarpus fortunei, currently in good growing conditions. My question is: how tall/how big is this tree going to continue to grow if it is roughly in a pot of 5.5 gallons (~21 L) of soil? i understand to replant the palm when it is root-bound, however I’m wondering this current pot is going to yield a big tree or if it’s nearly maxed out on growing height in the current pot. Pot Dimensions: Circumference: 42 inches (106 cm) height/depth of soil: 9.5 inches (24 cm)

How often do you water? Does it depend on how root bound they are, or are you watering your newly potted up palms just as much?

OK, I have an oversized sago palm. The "trunk" above the soil is about a foot or two long, with healthy fronds coming out of the top. Getting top-heavy. I'd like to do a major pruning to get rid of most of that trunk. It's getting too big for the container that it's in. Can I just slice through the trunk and shove the top of the plant in soil with the lower leaves at the soil surface? Will it reroot? That is, how can I knock this thing down to a manageable size? Otherwise, I am forced to just dump the whole thing, and replant pups.

Hi all I have a bunch of palms in post around my pool and a few other plants. I am looking to replace the other plants with palms. I am in Brisbane Aus.

HELP! My palm is sick :(

Hi everyone, My beautiful indoor palm doesn't look so good. We had it for about 3 years, until we noticed a discoloring of the leaves, along with tiny black sand-like stuff on the underside of them. I can't spot insects, and I tried getting rid of the black-sand by wiping the leaves with a damp cloth, but they returned quickly. Hopefully you'll be able to spot the problem from the pictures attached. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Heat mat temp controller clicking?
by Rivera- 2 replies
- 118 views
I couple of my little heat mats are controlled by Sunpack temperature controllers, which include a soil probe to gauge temp. Sunpack is the brand carried by my local garden center, but I think all these devices are pretty much the same. One of my temp controllers just started clicking nonstop and the power indicator light is flashing. Clearly something has gone wrong. Who knows where the manual is? Anyone experience this with their heat mat controllers? Photo below of the device in question.

Washingtonias seeds

My work has a lot of Robusta around the office warehouse entrance where managers and supervisors and clerical side work. The ground is literally covered with seeds. I see some sprouts clump growing. Not sure if I should step in to steal them all before they get the landscapers to destroy them. Took me some weeks to see some seeds to sprout. The Robusta have finally sprouted. All robusta seeds are sourced from work. The transparent cup is full of robusta seeds. I’m waiting to see some action. I literally have a quart size full of Robusta seeds. 🤪 My hybrid seeds I stole from my local Lowe’s parking lot however have not seen what so ever of sprouting. Not s…

Spring finally appears to have arrived here in SE UK, after a very wet, very grey and very long winter.... Luckily, we didn't experience much in the way of severe cold, with nothing more than a a few frosty mornings. Every palm bar one suffered from spear pull after (a very cold) winter 2022/2023, I'm not expecting too many issues this year. But time will tell... My small Jubaea suffered from spear pull early last year and as a result only put out one crimpled frond by the end of the summer. It has already stared to put out new fronds this year, however, it now appears to be growing at any angle. Does anyone know if it will straighten up in time, or is th…

I got these two plam trees in Statesboro Georgia on the "I'm just a out dead rack". I transplanted them into 15 gallon grow bags inside a pot. I fertilized them and they started to put new growth out. About 45 days or so. They get watered once a day for 5 minutes, & have good drainage. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I think they are a fan palm, maybe a Washington palm. TIA Old Mike

My father passed away 7 years ago and I took over his palm trees because they meant so much to him. I am working to keep them going but my expertise isn’t there. I wanted to send a couple photos to show you the state of them and see if you had any advice or things I could do to keep them alive. I already have lost a few Mexican fan palms when their leaves turned brown almost over night. Don’t want the same thing to happen to any of these. Thanks and appreciate and advice you could provide.
