Cyrtostachys renda Problems
by AshW- 13 replies
- 2.6k views
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.

After repotting my Joey, it was time to repot the L. peltata var. sumawongii. I adopted these both in 2017. The sumawongii was starting to need water more frequently than once/week, was pushing a new spear, and showing roots at the pot’s drainage holes. Also, the sumawongii was likely getting jealous of its brother Joey’s new larger pot . As you will see in photos below, it has been 24 months since it was repotted. First photo dated 2017 and the remaining photos are June 2019 repotting time. At first I thought the new pot would be too big, but once the root ball was in the pot it seemed just right. There was enough room to add fresh media below the root ball and abo…

V joannis and spiralis roots
by SilverDragon- 6 replies
- 986 views
So I have a few joannis and spiralis seedlings that are doing quite well in some one gallon pots, bit now a few have roots coming out of the bottom. Should I transplant them to a deeper pot? If so, I'd really appreciate it if someone could link me a site where I can order the deep black square pots I see many growers using on here.

I hate pots

I have been trying to get rid of all of my pots for years now. We like to go camping off grid now for weeks at a time. We have over the last few years reduced our propagation, to be free to travel in the van. We only grow them to give away to our friends/neighbours and have reduced it from 100's, to scores, to now just dozens of pots. Half of them are ready to give away now. Being such a mild climate here, plants can go into the ground much earlier than in a lot of other places. After one more summer most of the rest will go and maybe one half a dozen may go into the ground squeezed in somewhere here. My last ones include, Ch. Arenbergiana (fine leaf for…

Pindo in a pot questions
by newtopalmsMD- 2 followers
- 6 replies
- 2.7k views
I have a pindo (from a big box store last Sept on clearance. ) It was in a 5 gallon pot (or maybe smaller). It's now in a ten gallon pot full of Miracle Gro all purpose potting mix (plus whatever the big box store used in its smaller pot). I have been roundly chastised in other fora for using MG and peat in general. So now that it is time to move it to 15 gallons, what should I use as a medium? Since I live in zone 7a (with a bit of a 6b-ish micro-climate where my palms are planted ) this Pindo will forever be living in a pot, and be moved out of the really cold (into a garage with grow lights) during the winter. Also I have both a 15 inch tall and a 12 inch tall 15…

Garden question
by petquack77- 2 replies
- 773 views
Hello everyone, So I've been working on my garden and it's coming really nice , but there's is something that bugs me the most in the garden. I would like to cover this ( see pic) in my garden. I'm no expert ,but I'm guessing it's the water meter? Anyways my plan is to put a potted plant in front of it to cover it so if a maintenance person ever comes out to check on it they could just move the plant out of the way to check or work on it. Of course there's no way I'm going to tamper with it being that I don't own it , such as paint it. Any ideas on how to cover it or make it blend into my garden? Suggestions on particular potted plants that I can use cover it ? I…

I've been looking for a Kentia Palm for sometime now, but all the nurseries in my area only seem to stock Majesty, and occasionally Areca, or Bamboo palm. Most people seem to agree that Kentia and Parlor Palm are the best houseplants, but I can't seem to find either of them for sale anywhere in my area. It seems people would rather buy a cheap Majesty palm, even though its chances of survival when grown indoors aren't that great. I understand that Kentia and Chamaedorea Elegans are slower growing, and thus more expensive, but I'd be happy to pay more for a palm actually suited to being a houseplant. Does anyone know of a nursery or other retailer in the Mid-Atlantic that …

Palms in Miracle Gro potting mix issue

I have planted several cold hard palms (Trachy's and Sabals in 3 and 5 gallon pots) in all purpose Miraclegro all purpose potting mix with the idea of letting them overwinter one more winter before polanting in teh spring. But I have discovered that this mix is low in potassium and some trace nutrients. Has anyone else done this and then emended the mix by adding nutrients? If so how much should be added? Or should I just find a better potting mix and repot? Thanks

Chinese fan palm as die backs
by newtopalmsMD- 2 followers
- 1 reply
- 666 views
Hi, Separating (partially) some big box Chinese fan palms and planting them as die back in zone 7a. Some are about 2 feet tall to frond tip, and others have petioles that are 4 feet with pretty big fans. Should I expect the smaller plants to never really get any bigger than they are (kind of like hostas)? Should I expect the big ones not to regain their petiole height but continue to produce large fans? (Just thinking of where to locate them) I assume there is no special care for these things. Just lots of water (especially since its July!) and slow release palm fertilizer? Then after the really cold weather starts cut them to the ground and cover with leaves…

Just picked up a 7g bottle palm
by Rickybobby- 17 replies
- 1.6k views
Today I finally got a chance to pick up my new hyophorbe lagenicalis. The health of all the palms of the nursery looked good. Too my surprise when I yanked it out of the pot to put it in something more decorative I noticed a huge amount of I think slug eggs. So I hosed them out with warm water for quite a while and I’m prettt sure I got 99 percent of them. Hopefully everything works out. For now the palm will be in my palm room for two more weeks. At that time the lows here will start to get warmer. Our days are beautiful right now but just a few odd days of high 30s are enough to keep it inside

Potted palm suggestions

Looking for suggestions for a potted plant that does well in Houston summers and it would get full sun . Doesn't have to be hardy at all as I can bring it inside for winters. Right now I have a bottle palm that treat in this manner which loves our summer heat and humidity. I really wanted a burretiokentia viellardii but don't believe it could take full sun ? I'm open to all ideas and if you have pics of your potted palms that works even better =)

W robusta seedling leaf tips turning yellow
by SilverDragon- 8 replies
- 1.1k views
So my biggest W robusta seedling has been doing well, but recently it's leaf tips have been turning yellow. It's in a pearlite peat mix and gets light for at least 8 hours a day from grow lamps. Additionally it is on a heated mat with others. I water it when it gets dry, which is almost once a day. Maybe I'm overwatering it? Pot size? Should it go outside perhaps? Help is appreciated.
