Nannorrhops ritchiana in a pot
by Grasswing- 1 follower

Hi everyone, I want to share with you my potted Nannorrhops, one of the oldest palms that I have. It is an extremely slow species, but to be fair, it didn't have the optimal conditions all the time and I neglected it a bit for quite some time. This one is 7 years old and despite having still undivided leaves, it has some suckers already (if it is right to call them suckers). Here are some visuals, enjoy! Regards, Ondra

Bringing humid seedlings outside
by Rickybobby- 5 replies
- 843 views
I really didn’t want to do this. But my tropica more humid palms. Sabal cane bottle solitaire Bangalow etc I had in the house. Around 77f and 40 percent humidity. I wanted to grow them to be used to more indoor temps since they will be inside 6 months a year. But today I caved. Outside is 92 f and 70 percent humidity everyday for a few weeks. (Finally) my foxtails and Bismarck’s are out there too. I just wanted to let them grow like weeds. But I’m worried that doing this will make them less hardy in the long run. My dates. Windmills and Cali fan palms are growing like weeds inside and we know they are more suitable for inside than the others

I had some good root growth over the last year with my bottle palms. Time to put them into something bigger. I'm wondering if this is their last pot; it's pretty heavy now. Does anyone have any really developed bottles still in pots? Like with the really bulbous bottoms they are famous for?

Something Eating My Majesty Palms

Happy Solstice Everyone! I have 5 Majesty Palms under my pool cage and I noticed yesterday that someone has been chewing on a spear. I have included pictures of the palm spear as well as a leaf on a nearby Lobster Claw Heliconia. I had noticed some damage on newly opened fronds in the past but was unconcerned as the problem seemed minor. This looks like more extensive damage. We keep the doors to the cage closed except for when we go into the yard. We do have some decent sized anoles around the patio in the range of 5-7 inches. Does anyone have experience with anoles eating their palms? cheers

Weird leaf condition
by Kai- 1 follower

I have amputated a leaf off my Astrocaryum alatum plant. It has been a very healthy and well growing plant since I got it halfway 2015. But now all of a sudden one of the newer leafs, but not the newest dried up in a matter of days. All other leafs appear to be unaffected. I have no idea what might have caused this and therefore no idea if I should be worried about it affecting the rest of the palm or how to treat it. Or worse: it affecting other palms in my collection. There haven't been any changes in watering or caring. I'm completely in the dark. Does anybody here have an idea of what might have caused this just by looking at the pictures?

New potting mix and fertilizer?

Hello everyone, I made a small research on Palmtalk about the potting mix people use and decided that I need to upgrade my growing medium to some decent level. Most of the time, I was using a "palm substrate" mixed with sand, but it was really hard and heavy - as you can see here: I have Brahea, Butia and some other subtropical palms sprouting now, so I realized they need some more mineral substrate. I prepared this mix: LECA (expanded clay) : perlite : pine bark : palm substrate (mostly peat) = 1:1:1:0,5 What do you think about this mix? Anything to improve, add? My other concern is, how is the best way to fertilize, and w…

What type of soil would work best?
by TropicalUtah- 7 replies
- 731 views
Hello! I live in Utah and have a 3-5 Gallon Windmill Palm and Pygmy Date Palm that I would like to put in containers. I plan on moving them inside when it gets cold, and leaving them outside when the temperatures are right. The containers I will put them in are 20 Inches tall and wide. What soil mix would work? We don’t have palm or tropical soil mixes in the area, but I have read that big brand garden soil with perlite would work? Any tips or advice would be great as I want to avoid root rot. Thanks!
