How do your palms do in clay pots? 1 2

I have several palms in clay pots but I'm worried that the fluctuations in moisture and temperature will stress out the palms. Clay pots are thirsty and drink a lot of moisture from the potting mix. Do you grow in clay pots? How do your palms do if you use them?

Maximizing heat and light in palm grow rooms
by Stethoscope- 3 replies
- 1k views
Hello everyone, I have an East facing living room with most of my palms close to he balcony doors. Direct sun exposure is limited to about 5-6 hours of light per day. I wanted to know if there were ways I could increase the amount of light reaching my palms by reflecting it off the walls using objects such as mirrors, mylar etc. What do you guys think? Any real experience with said materials? I presume heat will also increase using this method, which of course, is always welcome. When I google the topic most of the info pertains to marijuana grow-ops that focus on reflecting artificial lamp light. Thank you.

Humidifier for palms
by Stethoscope- 2 replies

Hi everyone, I'm thinking of purchasing an indoor humidifier and wanted your opinions about it. I was thinking of going with a warm mist humidifier instead of a cool one as I already have a small cool mist unit and it is too weak. Another option is a steam humidifier such as the Boneco S450. What do you guys think? I live in a condo that's about 825 sq ft. Thank you.

cocos nucifera Stalled potted coconut palm growth?

Hi everyone, I have owned this coconut palm since mid July and it has not grown a single centimetre. I bought it directly from a nursery here in Toronto, it is of the Malaysian dwarf subtype by the nursery/brand loco coco. Do you guys think it's healthy? Any gross potassium or magnesium deficiency? It did have a fungus gnat infestation 2 weeks ago, after which I didn't water it and let the soil dry out while keeping it outdoors to prevent spread of the critters, they have thankfully not returned. The soil is 50% perlite and 50% regularpotting soil. Thanks in advance.

washingtonia robusta Washingtonia Robusta re-potting and Root growth!

I decided to take the next step as PalmatierMeg long ago suggested and I re-potted my oldest Washy (that I bought from Nevada on ebay last August). I re-potted it in a more standardized black container, rather than the clear Powerade bottles I've been using up til now. And boy was it a job cutting the Powerade bottle down the side. I hope I didn't cut the roots up or anything while doing this. I tried to be careful but it was hard to cut and all with the roots right up against the walls. It now looks as if it did indeed need re-potting! Geez, there's a lot of roots here. There was still a lot of potting medium that fell lose though. I can now see that because I…

Is this really a Pindo

Found this at Home Depot marked Pindo Palm. Do Pindo Palms at this age have fan-like leaves? I would have guessed Mexican Blue Fan which are common here in the Phoenix Valley, or possibly Bizmark. The leaves are noticably blue next to all the other Palms.

My Phoenix roebelenii Date palm in NY state.
by ExoticPalms- 4 replies

This summer I decided because I have a lot to consider before I make a move to the western area of the US, I would bring to me now, what I consider one of my favorite parts of the warmer states. About 5-6 months ago I bought my first palm tree. About two weeks after, I bought a large pot for it and did my first ever re-potting. I should have potted it a bit lower, but it's sitting at the same elevation as it was before. I made a special mix with local sand found at lake Ontario mixed with a peat moss that supports good drainage as well. This summer alone it has already grown at least three or four new fronds which I find pretty amazing. Our summers get to a max right unde…

I love both the Verschaffeltia splendida and the Foxtail palm and both are easy and cheap to buy online BUT both will die on me easily within a month of getting them, especially the Splendida. Getting seeds is easy enough with the splendida I got from "Dundee" a member here on palm talk. Both palms are fast germinators and quick growers although the foxtail isn't as fast as established palms. The splendida are little rockets! neither of these species has shown any problems growing indoors where they will always stay. If they were born in this environment then they will stay inside. I would say to any member here if you've had a palm that you've bought but just can't…

Palm Tree in a Terrarium
by RobustaEnvirons- 7 replies
- 6.3k views
Recently, I read of a man in England that has been growing a spiderworts (Tradescantia) in a sealed glass container since 1960. That is 56 years its been growing inside there without any water (he did actually water it once in 1972, but only that one time). Its a sealed ecosystem where the plant has created its own water cycle and CO2 cycle as well. During the day the plant takes in CO2 using the sunlight it receives from a nearby window, and during the night it makes CO2. Due to the sealed system, it continually reuses the water that it was given so long ago (about a .5 - 1 pint of water). That got me thinking of whether this would work with a palm tree. I've be…

How long exactly can I leave my W. Robusta Outdoors?
by RobustaEnvirons- 1 follower

Hello, everybody! Since around mid-June I've been leaving my potted Washingtonia Robusta out in the front yard. They seem to indeed love the sun and grow bigger everyday. Everyday when I wake up, I put them all out in the front yard and after the sun sets I bring them into my sun-room. I do this every single day (and have done). I prefer to bring them indoors at night to avoid the little bugs that eat their leaves and other pests. Also, there's really no point to leave them outdoors since they can't photosynthesis and make food, thus they don't grow at night. This past week, daytime temps have weirdly been low in the upper-low 70s and for a few days there it strugg…
