Sabal palmetto seedling
by PlantDad- 12 replies
- 1.5k views
i have a Sabal palmetto seedling that my buddy shipped to me fr Florida and I have I have it in my bedroom for the winter. It could probably take the cold outside here in Keizer, Oregon zone 8b/9a but I wanted to keep it growing through the winter. Since I have had it it has put out 1 strap leaf and is now developing a leaf with splitting leaf margins. I am shocked by how fast it is now growing. The leaf that it is currently developing has gotten to where it is now in about a month. I keep a daylight led on it for 12 hours a day. I noticed that when I switched to a more warm white led as a way to alternate the lighting spectrum to provide more of a balanced lighting spect…

Bismarckia noblis

Hey Everyone! My neighbor brought me a Bismarck palm back from Florida. This is the first time I got one of these but always loved the look of those (one of my faves). I was wondering how soon I should re-pot this palm into something bigger. I believe it's in either a 5 gal or 7 gal nursery pot. I do have a ton of bigger ones (15 gal, 25 gal). I know that I live well outside this palms minimum hardiness zone but am sure I can grow it into a nice specimen overwintering it inside. Plus the window it is sitting in front of is facing south so winter placement is not an issue (sorry for the dark photo, got it last night and took picture of it to post when it was dar…

Licuala peltata Var. 'Sumawongii' AND Licuala peltata Var. 'Peltata'

For comparison purposes, I thought it would be interesting to view Licuala peltata Var. 'Sumawongii' AND Licuala peltata Var. 'Peltata' side by side. They are both similar in age so they present a pretty parallel comparison. I received the Var. Peltata in error when I mail-ordered the Var. 'Sumawongii' , but I kept them both and I rather like both their similarities and differences. The Var. 'Sumawongii' is pictured on the Left and the Var. Peltata is on the Right. Anyone have any photos of potted Var. Peltata? I'm curious to know how it will look several years down the road as a houseplant.

Issue with older Serenoa repens fronds

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if you could tell me what might be going on with my palm. It is still growing out of all of the shoots but some of the older fronds are turning black and shriveling. It started mostly after I brought it in for the winter. It has been inside for almost 2 months and has another 2 before it goes back out. Is this no big deal or is there something I can do? Thanks!

For a long time now, I am looking for a special type of Phoenix dactylifera. I have seen this variation in several locations in Spain, Marbella, Elche, Llorett de Mar and Torremolinos, but up to now I have not been able to find this palm in a nursery, not in Spain, not in Italy nor in France. Anyone of you ever seen this palm?

Kentia palms. Are they really good indoor palms? 1 2
by sashaeffer- 1 follower

Ok, have done searches both here in forums and online. Kentia palms (both species) are usually mentioned as one of the top 5 indoor palms to have. I have a "3 try rule" with palms and will throw in the towel after that but that generally is on species that have little known about them as indoor palms. Kentia palms are gorgeous but crazy expensive to buy here in Nebraska. I'm lucky in that even mail order or when I make road trips to California they are a dime a dozen and pretty cheap to buy. I have tried at least 10? times of various sizes. Some single, others 3/4 in a pot. When left outside in dappled light here in the summer they get very ample rain and…

Washingtonia in pots
by dorian24- 4 replies
- 722 views
Hello everybody. First of all, I want to introduce myself. I am a new member. My name is Dorian, and I am from France (that's why my english is not very good...). I live in the savoy region (south east of France, near Lyon). I am passionnate about palm trees for two years, especially Washintgonia palm trees. Here I want to share my experience by telling you about my three Washingtonia in pots. The first (the largest) was purchased in April 2019. It has flourished since then. But I don't know if it's a Filifera or a Robusta. I think it's a Filibusta but I'm not sure. The other two are botanical Filifera (Coachella Valley and Palm Canyon) purchased online from…

Phoenix roebellini in a sump bath

Hey everyone here is my two pots of Pygmy dates. One pot has 4 one has 3. Anyways just to show what I do for my indoor winter setup up here in 43 degrees north southern Ontario I put my potted palms over my sump pit and water the heck out of them and not worried about making a mess in a bathroom or clean up. The pump sucks up everything just about. One thing to note and I’ve said it before Pygmys are bulletproof up here. They don’t mind moist roots they survive just fine and grow like weeds for me indoors with no issues

Buying from the Canary Islands.

Hi! I live in Norway, Scandinavia and am looking to buy a Terminalia Catappa seedling (Tropical Almond or Indian Almond). This plant goes by many names so my lack of success in finding a supplier could be down to me searching under the wrong name. These trees are probably sold in the in the US under a different name. I only managed to find one supplier (Canarius.com) based in the Canary Islands. Here is the link https://www.canarius.com/en/plants/terminalia-catappa-tropical-almond.html They have 2 year old plants in stock which they can send to me but I could not find any reviews or anything else written about them online. Has anyone heard of them or could anyone recommen…

Joey palm (Johannesteijsmannia altifrons) needs repotting
by piping plovers- 2 followers
- 15 replies
- 2.1k views
I was wondering why my potted Joey palm (Johannesteijsmannia altifrons) was not sitting level on the shelf, until I picked it up and noticed roots growing out and under the pot (photo below). Am dreading having to repot it knowing how they dislike any root disturbance. However, last autumn I was having to water it every 4 days or so and it used to be able to go 10 days without watering, so I knew the time was coming for a bigger pot. I last repotted it 2 years ago when I adopted it in April 2017 (Photo below). When I received it from grower it was potted in a wet peaty mixture, awful media for the plant. I repotted it in 2017 and the root ball completely crumbled and …

Nypa fruticans in a pot

I know these are water lovers, would these palms prefer a saucer under the pot to retain extra water so the soil stays extra swampy? I have other palms that thrive on this situation & I killed a couple before I realized this is what they wanted.

Isopropyl alcohol for insect control?
by sashaeffer- 2 replies
- 440 views
I have a nice 3+ foot single Chamaedorea elegans After receiving it and being happy and growing well indoors for 4/5 months and sitting by itself noticed a quick and severe infestation of Mealy bug. To many to remove one by one with a q tip in alcohol so I just added some to a small spray bottle I had and sprayed the fronds and stems really good. Let it sit on there for a few hours and rinsed off. Mealy bugs gone...and no damaged to any parts of the palm so was curious if anyone else has simply sprayed rubbing alcohol on a indoor palm to get rid of any pest? I assume the alcohol dries up the pest thus killing it and possibly any eggs laid as well. I've been …

Greenhouse heating question
by Chester B- 1 follower
- 9 replies
- 707 views
I set up a small greenhouse this fall (6x4 footprint) to protect all my small seedlings while I'm growing them out to plant in the garden eventually. These are all pretty cold hardy species (Trachycarpus, Sabal, Butia, Jubaea, etc) but my question revolves around supplemental heat. I have insulated the greenhouse with 1/2" bubble wrap and have installed one string of C7 lights (I have extra strings) that are plugged into a thermocube that turns on at 35F and off at 45F. We don't have too many nights a year that drop below 35F and the greenhouse on its own is running 2-3F warmer at night since I've set it up. So is there any benefit of running the lights on a timer ove…

Brown lesions on underside of palm leaf
by Melinda G- 1 follower
- 3 replies
- 467 views
I am new to palms and need help identifying what is causing these lesions so I can appropriately treat. Please help! Pelagodoxa in container, kept under an overhang, protected from wind, gets partial sun throughout the day. Numerous, very small, raised, brown spots, many of which have a pale tan, pinpoint center. They are only located on the underneath side of the oldest leaf. They seemingly came on quickly although I admit I had not paid as much attention to that leaf as it seemed to be the older, brown leaf that was on its way out. When I look closely at this leaf, the leaf base does have some residual green color so maybe it browned prematurely? I don't know. The…

Moving in with a container ranch

Just wanted to share a happy moment. I'm moving into a Mid-Century Ranch with my awesome lady and she's cool with my container ranch. Decided to make sure she understood what she was getting into by putting all my bigger palms (save for a few still on the porch) in our new Library. Gotta love moving from a north-facing apartment into a house with floor-to-ceiling East windows! (now complete with red cat-bench from which to watch the bird & squirrel channel) Now to find space for all the big stuff still on the patio and all the seedlings!
