Wind knocked over windmill palm
by Rickybobby- 3 replies
- 788 views
We have some gnarley east winds today. Came home and my windmill which was just reported a couple weeks ago was on its side and it fell out of the pot a bit exposing some roots. I immediately reported. Added fresh soil and watered it some of the leave folded in today I’m hoping it will be ok? Also this palm is currently recovering from a tad of root rot

My seeds do not germinate :(

Hi! I have a bit of different palm seeds. Some of them I got from @@DoomsDave, others from elsewhere. I try to provide them with the right conditions (coconut fiber with perlite, moist substrate), unfortunately it's been half a year and nothing germinates. What can I do wrong? Cocothrinac dussiana, Hyophorbe verschaffeltii, Dypsis Decarei, Dypsis lanceolata, Syagrus romanzoffiana.

Little Roystonea Regia in pot
by spikemc- 3 replies
- 2k views
A few years ago, I germinated seeds of Roystonea Regia that currently measure about 1 meter tall. I have them in a semi-shade place (2 hours of direct sun). This is one of them. As we all know, these are plants for full sun, but when they were little I wanted to protect them from the direct sun until they will become stronger. I'm in 9b area (Valencia-Spain), so my idea is to grow in a pot (to move and protect in hot areas during winter) until they start to make trunk and then pass them to the ground as they will be stronger to resist the winters here (rarely below 28ºF ). My question is: With this size it would be convenient to start giving th…

Ptychosperma macarthurii in Pot
by Pal Meir- 2 replies
- 1.8k views
Ptychosperma macarthurii germinated from seed in *1986; the seed came from a palm of Singapore Botanical Garden. @GrumpyGrower The first two photos (2003 & 2006) show the palm in a small Ø20xH20cm pot; the 3rd one (sunburnt) in a Ø24xH24cm (?) pot. It was given away to a zoological garden in 2008. The last photo might be the parent tree (?).

Best potting soil mixes
by beliz1985- 1 follower

Hi, There are not that many potting soils to choose from in this city, even store bought very well draining soil for succulents and cactus seems to cause some problems. The soil I buy contains pine bark chips, some coco fiber and peat moss. I add perlite to that mix. It seems the water drains quite fast but the main concern is that the mix absorbs a lot of water which is squeezable. I've just recently repotted Arch. Alexandrea I had bought 2weeks ago and 2 of its leaves lost the green, withered with pale green. Could it be due to the soil or something else? What would be your best well draining potting soil mix? Stuff I could get here: vermiculite, per…

Help! My plant is dying

Hi all! I am having some problems with my plant (which I think is a howea forsteriana?) and wondered if anyone could help?! The leaves are turning brown and drying up - please see pictures, are there any giveaway signs of the problem ? Have owned for around 5 months, re-potted on day 1, water around once a week when soil becomes dry, was positioned by a single glaze window in a bright room but have since moved as it can get pretty cold by that window during the night but not usually below 15 celcius. Any advice would be much appreciated! I would also like to remove the dead leaves and stems but not sure how to go about this, I don’t wa…

Saved these from a poinsettia holiday basket at work.....at least I hope I can. Looks like they got a little "sun burn". Split the 8 palms into pots and gave them a sea kelp shot and will be seeing how they do. Hoping I can save them, guess time will tell.

Root rot
by Rickybobby- 6 replies
- 797 views
So being ocd I tend to over water I.ln pots. What was really disappointing was me purchasing Ravena rivularis again and trying a go at it. Biggest mistake read a ton of people saying can’t water enough wet feet etc well in pots it didn’t work out for me. I rotted a the roots and all my fronds have wilted off. Unfortunately I have changed all soil and dried them out but not sure of the outcome of these pour souls. My trachycarpus has some what the same situation but is pulling through slowly. I have learned a lot this year with potted palms. Really let that soil drain out and dry and make sure really the soil drains well and the pot can get it out. I hope I learn my…

I wanted to advise , would this lamp grow led be good for my palms? http://allegro.pl/zarowka-led-grow-54w-e27-7-kolorow-do-roslin-hps-i5679266472.html In the winter I would like to brighten for rather small and medium plants. I'm just worried, that they did not burn my leaves. I read many websites and guides for half a year and chose this lamp one because it has a lot of lumens and kelvin and better diodes, than those from China. I do not want to buy on aliexpress because I do not trust this portal. I prefer in my country.

Palm plant roots out of pot
by jeffrey- 8 replies

I have a Jade Empress palm tree. I got it a few years ago while on vacation in South Florida. It was small and bare rooted and I planted it in a pot. It has been growing fine for the last 2 years. I put it outside in the Spring and back into a heated and bright sunroom for the Winter. The problem with the palm is that the supporting roots that come from the base of the plant are out of the soil and the plant is wobbly. I tried to fill the pot to the brim with soil but the roots are still to high. I tried to wire the base of the plant to small stakes to help support it but it is still wobbly and I am afraid that if its outside and we get our normal strong thunder storms i…

The German clay product is not available here. What would be the closest product? LECA and is not as absorbent I have been told,Or is seramis just a form of LECA? Zeolite breaks down. What about lava rock or scoria, would that be any good? What about hydroponic clay balls?

Chamaerops humilis var cerifera...painfully slow
by mdsonofthesouth- 11 replies
- 1.7k views
Both put on 2 fronds right away but have taken months to barely push out a 3rd. They get OK sun, sit at 70f+ and get controlled watering. Gave them a shot of organic sea kelp and water few weeks back and thats what seemed to start the next fronds. Might do a monthly light handed "feed" for them from here on out. Love the way these palms look but they grow slow as molasses in winter time!

Beccariophoenix fenestralis

Not yet in pots, here is 5 month's growth in a temperature-controlled humidity chamber (85 F - 90 F). With temperatures improving here in London, UK, I'm hoping it won't be long before I can pot these up and let them see some sunlight. One of our UK EPS members has a stunning conservatory example in his home in the North of England, so there's hope that I can grow this as an indoor palm too.
