Help me nurse this palm plant back to life
by Newtoplants- 1 reply
- 456 views
I’m really not a plant person, but I found this half dead palm plant in the dumpster last spring and felt bad for it since it still had some green leaves. It’s been on my covered patio all summer and miraculously survived. Now that it’s getting into fall, I think it needs to come indoors. It’s a fighter so I’m willing to try to nurse it back to health since it’s survived outside with minimal care all summer. I asked about it on another forum that isn’t at all plant related and thought since it’s been identified as a palm, this would be a better forum for more specific advice. The plant is down to 2 leaves, one has some brown edges. I have been watering sporadically a…

Grow bags

Has anyone used these type of grow bags to grow palms ? I have thought about using them to put climate tender palms in the ground then dig them back up before the first cold snap. Thinking i can enjoy the palm in the landscape instead of the container ranch. https://www.greenhousemegastore.com/containers-trays/bags-pouches/root-pouch-grey-fabric-pot-3-4-year?returnurl=%2fcontainers-trays%2fbags-pouches%2f With a regular nursery pot im afraid roots could possibly get thru the drain holes, so when i pull the palm back out , it could get root damage and possible death. Just throwing this out as an idea, anyone's opionion or pros and cons would be appreciated…

Germination of palms
by petquack77- 1 follower

Hey guys I had question about germinating palms. First off I'm currently germinating a few Mexican Fans and Windmill palms . The Mexican fans have sprouted and are slowly growing tiny green green fronds. They are doing okay ,but they thing I notice is I see these little tiny black bugs walking around the soil . What are they? Are they harmful to the palms? How do I get rid of them? Is there anything I could buy online to kill these little bugs with harming the baby palms? These bugs have already shown up so advice on how to prevent them or lectures on what I did wrong doesn't really help at this time. Please let me know and thanks.

So I have 2 Bismarck seedlings. Just over a year old. They have been on my outside gravel play area. I know rabbits did this they have water my wife’s precious flowers before. I’m lucky he spared me the spear other wise this plant would probably be a goner. He ate half of my other one as well but spared a lot more. Anyone else have rabbits eating there palms. See members on here said put your seedlings on the ground but all my little guys I put them on a table outside just because of this all you can see is a little spear here. A day ago there was 2 12” fronds

How do you Decide, who Lives and who Dies?

I'm moving again. Finally back into a house, not an apartment, with floor to ceiling windows on the East side, smaller high windows elsewhere. However, I'm now going to be sharing space with my beloved. As much as she would probably let me, I can't bring myself to hoard all of our space with palm trees. I have all that space in front of East windows, but I also have to take into account the big pots outside that will need to come inside in the next couple months. I have a number of "winners", like my oldest palms, my dwarf date, my wild collected Veitchia, and several others that are happy and healthy. However, I also have about a dozen pots of seedlings in va…

Royal Palms from @NOT A TA
by Mostapha- 0 replies
- 445 views
After seeing and reading what @NOT A TA, about his experimenting with germinating Royal Palm, posted some nice pics of the seedlings and a cross section of a pot showing the roots. Some were sun germinated and some shade grown, being as I live in N.Y.S. the idea of shade grown caught my eye. I wrote to him and asked if he would consider selling me a few shade grown. Well long story short, he agreed and also told me that he had some that he thought were much nicer than the ones in the pics, that he had utilized a different shade technique for germination. So, for just a few dollars and shipping, I received 16 very nice seedlings today via usps. I wanted to post pics befor…

Please recommend some palms to keep indoors

Hi First of all I want to let you know that I searched the forums prior to post and couldn't come up with threads answering my question. I want to start a few indoors palms from seed this winter. I don't want the usual suspects (P. canariensis, H. fosteriana, Washingtonias, S.romanzoffiana, P. roebelenii) I am thinking Brahea edulis for example, slow growing and likes dry conditions. What else out of the ordinary would you suggest for dry indoor conditions. I do drag my palms outside on warm winter days. Thxs Pat

Trying not to kill a Chamaedora elegans

Hi I am just restarting a potted palms collection. I don't have a green house and will not go crazy buying palms as in past years. I just bought a small Chamaedora elegans and intend to keep it alive and have it grow. I did some research online and came up with the following: -Likes a window facing north -Do not over water. Water when the top 1 inch feels dry. Yellow fronds indicates it needs water. -Vulnerable to pests, check often -Keep it away from vents. -Likes moderate humidity (Shall i spray it with water lightly once or twice a week?) -Fertilize during the growing season, not in winter. (I knew that) -Re-pot only every other y…

Cyrtostachys renda Problems

Hi Guys, I thought I was getting on top of the problems with my lipstick palms, but they seem to be struggling again. After around 6 months of no problems, I noticed a few of the fronds on one palm has started to dry up. Seemed like it is starting at the tip of the fronds and working the way down. I gave one a little "tug" and it pulled completely out. The bottom was brown and squishy. As you can see from the photos, they are looking pretty sad. Any help would be appreciated.
