Crushed coral/sand from fish store

I have posted before about making soil for my potted coconut. My sandy soil here isn’t the same as ocean beach sand. I wonder if buying bagged crushed coral aquarium sand would work well for my potted coconut ? I have some germinating coconuts right now that will eventually need some soil as well.

Just recently split up 3 majesty’s from same pot into their own pots. I was as easy as I could be on the roots.. all new soil and parked in front of a large window. 3 days later and they are looking a darker green, the fronds are droopy and all seem to be twisting. Is this just classic shock or did i kill these things?

I did a seaweed foliar spray to all of my small potted palm seedlings yesterday. I immediately noticed these yellow spots on a few of my Dypsis and the worst showing on this Carpoxylon Macrospermum. Is this a result of too many nutrients? That was my second round of foliar spray. I did the first one about three weeks ago. I am thinking I may the solution too strong. A little background info, I just recently got the palm bug and I am obsessed! This is my first post...

Azamax for spider mites?
by sashaeffer- 5 replies
- 1.2k views
Anyone use this with success? I have always wanted something other than a foliage spray to control spider mites and this product can be used as a watering drench. https://www.amazon.com/d/Fertilizers-Plant-Food/General-Hydroponics-GH2045-AzaMax-Ounce/B0032JYKGG/ref=sr_1_1?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1544306088&sr=1-1&keywords=Azamax Currently using Avid with success it seems, but have to take palms to bathtub and wear a mask to spray them down. Any soil drench would be much easier.

Growing in a box

My palm growing these days is very different from the greenhouse I had in Spain ten years ago. Nevertheless, I'm having some pleasing results growing in heated chamber. Here are the contents of my grow chamber, with some notable comments: At the back - 3 x Beccariophoenix fenestralis. I recently posted about these. I'm very happy with their progress. There's also a Chambeyronia macrocarpa in front of these. In the 3 ziplock bags behind I have 7 x Johannesteijsmannia altifrons germinated seeds. They've each produced a 6 to 7 inch radicle and look healthy so far. Fingers crossed! In the back-right corner - Coccothrinax miraguama. Among that lot is a sic…

Identify help please
by MrClappyHands- 4 replies

I have two of these palms that I've been growing for about 5 years. They were given to me as saplings, but I'm not sure what they are. All I remember is being told they were somewhat cold hardy. They've been pretty slow growing, partially I think from being in pots, also because it's been an experiment with trial and error to grow them in a zone 6 area. Any info/help/advice is much appreciated!

I have herd that Pumice or Hydrolega is better than soil for plants, as gives roots oxygen with out flooding the roots. Can this mix be used for palms also? A grower in Sweden, said for last ten years, he only uses pumice gravel. Roots bigger and stronger

Hyophorbe lagenicaulis Root issues

Hey everyone last year my potting skills weren’t up to par. I have learned A lot. My 5 gallon bottle lately has started to brown tip a bit. Still growing new spears just fine but as a new frond opens I cut one off. The soil on this guy has more peatmoss then some of my others. I figured he was fine. So with the. Brown tipping getting worse I put my fingers in the soil and still damp. Not soaked but prettt damp. So I decided to pull the guy right out of the pot. So to my surprise the whole pot is root bound which is good. No soil at the. Bottom at all. But half way up to the top is the bad draining peat. One large root has rotted. New roofs are growing. So there’s some bad…

Huge trouble with my kentia

Hi there, Has anyone have an idea what could possibly happen here ? Just repotted the plant, pot was maybe a bit too big, so I've moved it to a smaller one with better drainage. But soil wasn't even too damp, no water below roots at all. Is it a fungus of some sort ? Leaves one after another are drying up like this one here. Have this plant in a west oriented room in semi-shade, so no chance for sunburn here. Can it be overfertilisation? Help

Neem oil or Hydrogen peroxide

I have about 18 seedlings that I have brought in for the winter and I am noticing an increasing amount of fungus gnats crawling around in the soil. I am trying to avoid scraping the top layer of soil off and adding sand because some of these palms are just beginning to develop roots. I was wondering if I should saturate the soil with a Neem oil mix or Hydrogen peroxide. I have mostly Needles, Trachy F, Trachy W, and Sabal Palmettos under a grow light in 14" cones. Thank you!

Palm identification help

Hi All, I'm new to the forum, and to palm trees--though I enjoyed looking at them when I lived in LA. I currently live in Maryland, and in terms of outdoor gardening, I stick exclusively to native and edible plants. So inside my house, it's always nice to be able to grow some slightly more exotic plants. Anyway, long story short, yesterday I purchased my first palm. I don't have the greenest thumb, and what success I've had with growing plants in pots, I attribute entirely to having done fairly thorough research into which species and cultivars are hardy, and which are not. I decided I wanted a palm for a slightly dim (though by no means dark) section of the living r…

Is this a Chamaedorea Elegans "Bella"? 1 2

Hello everyone! Today while at a local department store I was browsing around the Garden section and I spotted a couple tiny little palms. I instantly thought "Could this be a Chamaedorea Elegans "Bella")? But, I wasn't sure and I'm still not entirely sure of what it is. Right then and there in the store I got on my phone and undertook a bit of "research" and looked up pictures of C. Elegans and compared them, I visited the growers website, scanned the UPC code, and etc. The specimens for sale don't provide any information on their sales tags as to what they are. The grower doesn't provide any real information on them either and only refers to them as "Foilage", which doe…

Indoor watering
by Ben in Norcal- 1 follower

I feel like a fool for asking this question, but with so many plants to water inside, has anyone found a large can that doesn't drip everywhere? What are your solutions? Given I am often mixing in anti-fungals and systemics, it would be useful to use something not tiny...but everything large seems to either drip a ton or drop in too much at once if I take the leaky sprinkler spout off. Maybe I'm just a moron here but it would sure be nice for indoor irrigation to be less of a PITA.

Saving my Rhapidophyllum hystrix

Dividing my Needle Palm Hi PalmTalk friends, I posted this thread http://www.palmtalk.org/forum/index.php?/topic/30138-can-potted-palms-be-root-pruned/ in 2011 about my Rhapidophyllum hystrix needing to be ‘maintained’ in a ‘smaller’ pot. At the time it was in a 22” pot. Now it’s in a 32” X 20” pot and it’s become too big to maneuver in & out of the house &my husband is in revolt. It was my very first palm & arrived in 2001 in a 2 gal pot from Gerry’s Jungle (not sure if it’s still around). Is there any way it can be divided? It has at least 6 ‘babies’ but the only way I could physically manage the division would be with something like a sa…
