Had this old fella in a container for over 20 years just sitting in the corner of the greenhouse doing his thing not bothering anyone. Today was his lucky day and he gets to be part of the house collection in the screened off room to be admired.

What's wrong with my Dypsis Baronii?
by Maxman- 1 reply
- 301 views
Hi! I have a Sugar Cane Palm/DypsiBaronii in a large pot in my house. For a few months it's been having some problems: New spears open way slower than they used to and eventually reveal fronds with very short leaflets. In one of the pictures I am holding up a frond that is more than a year older than the one next to it (but looking a lot bigger and healthier) . Some other spears have stopped growing but not opened in nearly a year. The plants lives right next to a window and gets lots of indirect (and also direct light for 3-4 hours a day). Usually room temp is between 15-25 degrees with low humidity, but I do mist spray the plant. I occasionally fertilize with liq…

Budget Re-Pottery for Spindly Bob
by JohnAndSancho- 3 replies
- 231 views
Ok y'all. It's time to repot Spindly Bob. He's been in the same pot and same dirt for a few years now. Anyway, for those who don't remember - when I first got into palms, I was a big believer in those self watering/bottom watering pots. Well, now I hate them because having to fish big fat roots out of teeny tiny holes absolutely sucks. Anyway, onto my question. I haven't moved him or done anything other than treat for bugs and clear dead fronds yet, but - do these guys like being root bound? I don't have a bigger pot laying around, and saucers cost as much as planters do these days. Theoretically, if I just laid some old screen in the bottom of the pot, could…

Licuala Peltata var. sumawongii Care
by Tropical Toni- 2 replies
- 366 views
I have had this little guy for almost a month now. Lives indoors, never gets direct sun. Lives by an east facing window. Indoor humidity is around 50%. I try to keep the soil moist all times. Does this palm grow so slow like agave slow ? Or am I doing something wrong with its environment ? I'm not sure what the brown spots are on one of the fronds. I'm thinking just shock from being delivered & traveling from Florida. Please send me tips ! I have no idea when to repot this guy.

Problematic over-potting
by Darold Petty- 9 replies
- 595 views
Recently I had the good fortune to acquire a well-grown Laccospadix, suckering form. I needed one more to complete my landscape design for a corner of my garden. The plant came to me in a "15 gallon" pot. Although full and well grown, it seemed to be in too large a pot. Palms from Southern California growers are often sold this way, leading to the joke that one is "purchasing a small plant, with a lot of very expensive potting soil!" let's compare pot sizes. The 15-gallon is not truly a 15 gallon by liquid volume, and measures 14 inches diameter by 17 inches tall. (36cmx43cm). The pot I prefer is a Pro-Cal #7 Tall, measuring 11.5 inches diameter by 14 …

Hi ! I have a little Joey seedling. I am scared to death on ever transplanting this guyv (since they hate their roots disturbed). My climate is not suitable for it to be outdoors yet so right now I have it in my greenhouse cabinet. I'm just not sure if Joeys like to dry out in between waterings ? or kept wet ? Also when would it be time to repot this guy into something larger ? Please send any care tips ! Are they slow growers ? For reference I am in zone 10b.

I was wiping my plant and accidentally broke like 1 inch, about 2 cm, of newly born peak of the frond. It is the smallest peak, about 6,7 cm long. Since it is still, i would say, unformed, and haven't started to take final shape, it's still just a green homogenous spike, would it survive and how will impact the growth of the new frond. Other spikes are almost to open up, and are way bigger and you can see the future unopened but formed leaves. If i had broken that one, i would know that it will affect the frond pretty much, but since this is still just a green biomass, are there any chances that Kentia will recover since it ain't that big wound. I read here that people of…

The collection is growing
by happypalms- 7 replies
- 324 views
It’s a love thing growing plants in containers for planting in the garden. I prefer to germinate them myself and grow them on to decent planting size or buy small plants for growing on to plant out. Either way I need more room for the personnel collection A lot will get planted out after there winter holiday in the greenhouse to acclimate them a bit before hitting the ground for the big summer holidays in the garden. Some may never get planted due to the rarity and the risk of losing them in the ground.

Is this a new leaf?

Hi I am new to this palm tree plant. I believe this is a majest palm? If I am wrong can someone please share the correct name. I was told by the associate of the place that I bought my plant from that this particular long stem may have been a broken leaf. But the more I examined it the more I’m not sure so I am asking for clarification if this is a new leaf sprouting.

Too early to id these palm seedlings??
by Slifer00- 17 replies
- 698 views
I sowed around 15 different type of palm seeds 40 days ago, wondering if anyone could potentially ID the species this early on :). I can't contain my excitement, haha! Most seeds are from z12a southern Tenerife in the canaries. I have everything from royal cuban palms to mexican blue fan palms. I'm guessing the seedlings are washingtonia or dactilyfera. Thoughts? These are the only 2 seedlings big enough so far

Hey guys, I am wondering if I should bring my potted palms (3 Pygmy Dates) (1 Sago cycad) (1 Majesty) (1 bottle) outside. The weather seems to be warming up and staying that way. Here are the upcoming temperatures for my area. The only thing that worries me are those nighttime low temps. Should I wait a little longer? Thank you

Hi, UK (south) here! I found this page and was hoping to find some helpful advice please. I have a Mediterranean fan palm? in a metal pot with an interior lip, sat on gravel over a weed membrane, over soil. I’ve had it for at least 25 years maybe more but 17 years in this spot and it’s not budging so I assume it’s roots have set through the bottom in to the ground? I’m going to be moving soon, in the next few months but realise if I’m going to disturb it around now would be a good time? What I’d like to do is cut it free to leave a flat base, 1 to avoid having to dig it and the gravel and the weed membrane, take an angle grinder to the pot and find a new one and 2, …

Jubaea Chilensis - spear pull
by The Converted- 13 replies
- 1k views
Evening all I was hoping someone might be able to provide some reassurance... I have a small, 5 year old JC. It was left out for much of the winter, albeit, undercover. On a couple of really cold (-9) nights it was moved into the conservatory. A couple of months ago I noticed that last years spears (which were still emerging) were starting to brown. I thought I would give them a gentle pull, and unfortunately they both pull straight out. I suspect the cold got to it given we had several weeks where even day time temps barely got above freezing. After my initial panic / disappointment I order some Hydrogen Peroxide and treated the growing point every coup…

I’m assuming Chamaedorea elegans?

I’m assuming this will be easy ID as the most obvious answer is Chamaedorea elegans. My neighbor asked me to care for it while they traveled. She’s had it for 30 years; a tiny houseplant gift for birth of her 1st child. That’s how she always remembers how old the plant is. Has been growing it indoors in RI all these years. i just want to give her an accurate ID. thank you!

Howea Belmoreana, fronds yellowing

Hello all, very happy to join the forum PalmTalk! seeking some advice, i have this Howea Belmoreana in pot inside in Paris for now 6 years. Best indoor plant i've ever had with a steady growth every year ! Except i repotted it mid-november and it seemed all fine until this week when one of the frond turned yellow to brown very quickly... The palm is growing in a mix of pouzzolane, bark chips and special cactus mix (regular soil with a bit of sand). Watered once a week in the winter and twice a week in the summer. (more during heatwaves in july/august) Do you think the palm does not get enough water with the transplant? or just growing roots and nothing…

Licuala peltata var. ‘sumawongii’ Progress
by PalmsInBaltimore- 1 follower

- 692 views
Last summer I bought a haul of Licuala peltata sumawongii and Pinanga coronata ’kuhlii’ seeds to try and germinate, and I’m posting an update half a year later. Out of the 50 or so L. peltata seeds, so far only one successfully germinated without succumbing to mold. I’m fine with it. The L. peltata started popping within a month of being put in coir or moss or LECA, while the P. coronata have done nothing for six months, which I find surprising. I expected the opposite. Anyway, here are some pics of the single palm (lol) I have so far from this. Here’s the seed with its emerging radicle on August 25, 2024, about one month after being in LECA. I moved i…
