Help! What is wrong with my potted palm?

I love my palm! I’ve had it about 8 years and was always healthy. i moved house last July, but it remained in good condition. From January, it has started to lose its deep green colour. The leaves are turning a pale, faded green, even slightly yellow. The tips are brown and some leaves are even crispy. It’s usually pretty bushy.. but I’ve had to cut all the dried branches away and it’s starting to thin out. I dont think I’m over watering, I wait until it’s dried mostly until I water again which I’ve always done. its not in the sunniest of spots as I live in a terraced house so in the winter the house is quite dark so I have been moving it close to a wi…

Hey everyone, I have a ton of 1-3 gallon sabal palmettos in my house and my wife and I are getting a little antsy to put them outside. Our extended forecast calls for mid 40s-50s during the day and low to mid 30s Fahrenheit during the night. Just wondering if these will mind coming in and out of frosts for the next couple of weeks. I know I can wait but am just curious. Also probably joining IPS soon so I can sell some, there’s so many…

Separating S. minor

Ever been too afraid to separate minors because the root damage may kill them? Me too! But since my last move, seedlings are readily available at a local nursery so I can experiment without feeling too much remorse if something goes wrong. March 19. There were 3 minors growing in a single pot and I wasn't happy with the arrangement. These 3 have much smaller leaves than my other minors. Not really sure if they're misidentified or perhaps just a much smaller variety. Anyway, it was time to yank it out and see what could be done! The roots were only about 1/3 of this depth just 10 months before, when it was potted. This lizard was hiding under the pot…

Spear Pull on My C. Humilis
by Ivan604- 1 follower

So about 2 weeks ago I repotted my C. Humilis to a bigger pot since there was a lotta rots coming outta the bottom. All was fine until I tugged on the spears of the main trunk and the two newest fronds came out. There was a third front that was open which was fine. The 3 other suckers were fine, no pull on any of their crowns. I'm not too sure what went wrong, possibly the stress of being repotted and it took awhile for it to show symptoms? I did a few spear tugs to see if it was stressed and no problem until now. I poured hydrogen peroxide 3% into the crown and pulled the gunk out, not much came out. I watered it when it was repotted and I have a small space heater that …

Licuala Grandis soil change
by Elio- 1 follower
- 3 replies
- 128 views
Good morning/afternoon/evening to you all 🌴 I’m going to purchase a Licuala Grandis and will need to change the soil mix after doing so. I’ll grow it indoors in a pot. I found a suggestion for a soil mix on this site (Seramis, bark and Leca) but I have a few questions about it. - The plant will be in regular potting soil when I purchase it. If I repot it immediately into the mix mentioned above, will the roots be able to adjust? - How should I go about repotting it? Do I have to remove all old potting soil from the roots? Is it better to let the old soil dry out before repotting or is moist soil better? Should I do it immediately after purchasing or let it…

Hi! I got this licuala grandis about a week ago, 94cm tall, 21x23cm in a pot. I can see one leaf turn a little yellow. And I made one hole more in the pot and I see root rot. I need probably have to change soil. What soil mixture shoud I use? Something like seramis, kokohum, a pine bark? Should I cut off all the root rot? Should I change all the soil off (everything around roots)? Will this die if I touch the roots? I do not know how sensitive this plant is. Thank you!

Triple adonidia potting up question
by kimgerlach1- 1 follower

Hello all, I just ordered two triple trunk adonidias. I saw that they are 3 ft tall and was hopeful that they were being shipped having already been potted up. But I saw in the description that they are being shipped bare root. I have seen many images of triple trunk ones potted up where the trunks kind of bow out. I love that look. I asked the seller how to pot them up in order to get that effect. He told me that it doesn't matter. He was quite rude about me asking the question BTW, but whatever... I decided to Google the question and saw that a member on this forum named (I think) "Not a TA" posted about out how to plant seeds together t…

Cheap Drip Tray Idea
by JohnAndSancho- 4 replies
- 137 views
Just bouncing an idea. Since most of my stuff is on a table in a corner, it's inevitable that I make messes when I'm watering. I was thinking of just buying a few aluminum baking pans to place all of the pots in. Right now I'm watering on a rotation since I have a lot more pots than saucers, and a couple bigger plants have to go to the sink or bathtub to drain. I'd add some Mosquito Bits and some kind of rock, but it seems like the biggest drawback would be aesthetics. I thought about the possibility of reflecting light but I honestly think that'd be negligible with just LED lights.

Dumb LED Lighting Question

So I bought these shelves, it's a 5 tier 6ft wire rack and I figured it'd be a good spot to put a bunch of 4-6" pots. Also bought what's basically lamp cords with switches for some LED grow bulbs, GE BR30s I bought during COVID. Anyway, my question. What distance would constitute "full sun?" Like the bulb 6" overhead? 12"? I don't wanna cook anything.

Sabal Causiarum shriving for water?
by ZPalms- 1 follower
- 1 reply
- 5k views
I went out and saw that my Sabal Causiarum was closing up. Is this a water issue, or is it ready to be repotted or planted in the ground? I'm worried because every time I've had a palm start to close up like this, it meant death. Will they reopen? I've dunked them into a bowl of water to hydrate because it has been a while since I last watered them, but they've never done this before. I suppose with the weather warming up, they may be needing more water?

Hello, I am growing a Sabal palmetto in a pot indoors year round and would like some tips on how to take care of it. It’s my first time growing a Sabal palm indoors! Does anyone have any experience on maintaining a Sabal palm indoors? I’d like to hear some input and share some photos of your Sabal palmetto growing in an indoor environment. What does the temperature range have to be and humidity? I know Sabal palms like a lot of heat and humidity. I am in Central Jersey about a zone 6b. The palmetto palm stays by an east facing window and receives bright direct light during the morning and indirect light during the afternoon. The indoor temp is usually in the low to m…

Potted Foxtail near Van BC

- 150 views
Yeah so i was cruising around metro van (Delta) earlier today looking at different nurseries to see if there were any palm varieties, and to my surprise I saw a Foxtail Palm sitting near the entrance of a Canadian Tire. Not the first place I would have expected it at. Was thinking of getting it in the near future but I still have to look into the care and space of having it in my yard. Is $200 a good deal for this palm, any takes? 20240310_124009[1].heic 20240310_124015[1].heic 20240310_124026[1].heic

Went on a plant buying binge today. Found this ~2 or 3 gal for $70. I'd like to pull a few out and use as glorified annuals in ground. What do you think the odds of survival are? I don't know how root sensitive they are. Can't find anything from a quick Google search. I figure I'll soak the rootball and just try to coax a few out.

A few more palms to be planted when ready
by happypalms- 0 replies

As with any collection of plants they need to be grown to a plantable size before planting into an established garden the problem for new plants is the competition from the advanced plants competing for light and moisture also the danger for the new plants is falling branches and dropping palm leaves flattening them on the spot they also need to marked with some sort of bright tape for future watering and maintenance making it easier to see them in the established jungle garden hopefully one day the new garden plants will look as beautiful as the established one
