Stains on the leafs of the coconut palm
by Ilovepalm- 1 follower
- 3 replies

Hi. In May, I bought a nice healthy coconut palm. I look after her in such a way, that she is in a palm pot with an adapted substrate mixture. At the bottom of the pot there is expanded clay and burned holes. I have a temperature of 27-30 Celsius in my room. Every day coconut is sprinkled with warm water or a humidifier is used. I water about once a week either on the saucer or alternately from the top. Twice a week I put him in a steamy bathroom for a few hours. Despite this, ugly spots appeared on the leaves of the palm tree. I don't know if it's a mushroom? I must admit, that I recently had a massive spider mite attack. Now, it is calm for now. I live in Poland, so the…

Worms in Pots
by BeyondTheGarden- 1 follower

I know Ponytails aren't technically palms, but I figured this was the most relevant section for this question. My mom has a decent sized Ponytail and today she watered it, and these worms came out of the bottom of the pot. She would like to get rid of them so she's not having to kill and clean up worms every time she waters. Note this is the first time this has happened. Is there a way to remove them without bare-rooting and re-soiling? Google said to use insecticidal soap but it seems like, to kill worms, you'd have to use enough to also kill plants. Thanks.

Palms potted in neat coir
by Neil C- 1 follower
- 3 replies
- 1.1k views
I've noticed an increasing amount of potted palms for sale that appear to be planted in nothing but coir. On the plus side I can see that this is great for root growth, is lightweight and tends not to get waterlogged. On the negative side I would imagine very low in nutrients, relatively expensive and time consuming compared to usual potting mix. I would love to hear other's views on this practice and wether they have noticed an increase in this in their areas? I've tried a few potted palms in potting mixes containing coir with different percentages for a few years now and I must say that the results are fairly inconclusive. Regards Neil

Is my Ptychosperma lauterbachii suckering at this size?
by LivistonaFan- 3 replies
- 509 views
Today I discovered these green shoots and I wondered if these might be suckers? If that is the case, why aren't they at soil level? For those wondering, these cannot be seeds germinating in the bases of the petioles, because this plant is not a recent acquisition(I have grown it for 2 years now, I believe).

Is this pot too small for this bottle palm?
by adrock0211- 1 follower

I could get a slightly bigger pot, but the space wouldn't even be appropriate for too much bigger. I'm wondering how this bottle palm will do in that tight of a pot. Perhaps it would get rootbound very quickly? Looking for some guidance. Thanks.

If the owner of this plant looks in, would he or she be able to provide some additional photographs, plus some close ups of the petioles? There's a thread on EPS trying to establish what this actually is.

I have been growing palms for many years in the North (NJ/Zone 7a/b), and they always continue to amaze me. I had one of my three Phoenix roebelini palms overwintered in my chilly garage (essentially frost free but COLD nonetheless). Come March, I thought that two of the three were okay but tossed the third one into the compost pile after chucking it out of its container. So, it was lying in a ditch, out of a pot with roots exposed for weeks even after the freak May storm of "soft hail" in this weird year. Well, yesterday, I noticed it was regrowing new fronds among all the dead fronds. Moral of the story, it's not over till it's over for people and palms!

Little Bismarck that Could
by GoatLockerGuns- 3 replies
- 455 views
This little Bismarckia nobilis survived Hurricane Ian at my dad's house in Cape Coral, Florida relatively unscathed, and in a cheap plastic pot! This is the scene less than 100 yards away: He got tossed around and knocked over, but was still kicking when the skies cleared. I decided to bring him back to Texas with me: I thought the fronds looked really green on this guy. I would have expected them to be more silver since he has been palmate for some time now. Does anyone know if this is normal for a typical Bismarckia nobilis of this size, or is this looking more like the "Green Form" of the species? My dad's more mature plan…

I have a queen palm in a pot and it looks to me like it isn't doing well. Fronds bend and droop down- with brown tips It gets watered once every 8 days for 6 minutes. I live in northern california- the pots do have drainage holes. I have fertilized them twice in the 3 months I have owned them. More water? Less water? more fertilizer? any advice is appreciated.

Anyone expert on PAR LIGHT REQUIREMENTS
by Guest Dave L- 3 replies
- 360 views
I know there are no stupid questions, but I may get close with this one. I have a relatively new all season greenhouse with a variety of palms and tropical plants. I have an automated shade system that can respond to temperature and PAR light levels. When it gets too hot (Now it is set at 80F) the shades close to reduce the heat a few degrees. I attempt (with not great success) to keep the house at 75-80 F degrees day and 60-70 at night. During the day the outside PAR can reach almost 2000. I have researched this subject and I cannot find any source that can tell me if too much PAR is harmful. I know that ideal PAR for growing is between 400-700, but is too much h…

Hello everyone! First time poster, long time reader here First off, some background information: I was lucky enough to get my hands on this howea belmoreana about three months ago. I live in Germany, usually they only sell the Kentias here. The soil was very wet and dense (stayed wet for over two weeks even during the late summer heat), so I repotted it a month later into a mix of 45% soil, 40% clay granules and 15% pine bark. So far, I've kept it in a corner about 4.5m (about 14 feet) away from a south facing window front, so it doesn't get a lot of light, but I read that Howeas can handle low light conditions fairly well. I moved it away from the light into that c…

Carpentaria acuminata indoors
by LivistonaFan- 3 replies
- 1.9k views
I received this palm two weeks ago and it has grown about 4" of spear since then (only indoors). I ordered this as a substitute for an Areca triandra which never arrived as the seller sent me an Arenga . I know the Carpentaria might be too light-needy indoors, but I just like this Australian native . Does it look healthy to you (aside from the cracks in the leaves)?

Indoor Palm for Pool Area
by Gator- 3 replies
- 331 views
I am helping a relative with their indoor pool space. One thing they are interested in is having a large potted palm. The room it is going in will have 20' ceilings and lots of light/ humidity. The planter will be a good 3'x3' or bigger I looked at a cocos nucifera, but i feel that they are too difficult indoor. I would like something relatively low maintenance but to have a tropical feel .....aka pinnate fronded Would any of the mules work? Queens? Bismark ? ( not pinnate but beautiful ) Thanks

Separating Palm Clumps
by Born- 3 replies
- 338 views
I just received my Livistona Chinesis. I placed it in the shower for a wash and insecticidal soap. It will be in isolation for 2 weeks. My question to my Palm Pals: There are six clumps of the Livistona Chinesis. This Palm is an independent palm and does not naturally grow in large clumps. I would like to divide each tree individually and independently to have six trees. My separating technique would be as usual; clear out all the soil, rinse roots, untangle, and plant in small individual potters with a good drainage soil mix consisting of potting soil, perlite, and chip bark. Thoughts?

Golden Cane Palms in Pots
by Jtalty- 1 follower

Hello. I was wondering if these long pots are large enough for these golden cane palms 80cm long x 36cm wide? I want to put two containers of palms in each pot as a privacy wall. I was told they aren’t big enough and I need round pots but am worried these won’t fit in my space. I would like the trees to grow taller over time and not need to re-pot again. Any advice very appreciated. thank you!! https://imgur.com/a/eXjEINt

Sabal Minor - roots above ground?
by Makaisland Palms- 3 replies

So I've got a few S. Minor seedlings that I'm wondering about. Half of them seem to be growing with their growth point and some arial roots above the surface. Now from what I thought I knew about S. Minor, I thought that the growth point should be below ground. Just wondering if you think I should fill the soil up around them or continue as they are? Cheers! Jake

Though not a true palm, I thought I would share my mom's quite impressive Beaucarnea recurvata. She grows it indoors (used to move it out for the warmer months when it was smaller) in southeastern North Carolina. It is now up to about 7 feet!
