New Windmill Palm
by TedNoah1- 27 replies
- 10.1k views
Hello! I have a baby Chinese windmill palm being delivered to me this week. I will be putting it in a rather large pot outside. At the moment, I’m leasing my home and don’t own it. We aren’t allowed to plant trees of any size. I live in Chesapeake, Virginia (the greater Virginia Beach region), zone 8A. Will the tree be safe outside during the winter? I see these palms all over the place in Virginia. They seem to be very popular where I live. However, I’ve yet to see one in a pot, most are in the ground and growing quite large! Any tips/advice welcome! :-)

Need help with this dypsis
by Alcibiades- 1 follower

One of my dypsis has a problem since last year. Some leafs start to dry out from the tips of the leafs into the middle of the leafs. I cut out the affected parts of the leafs which slows down the process. Some leafs have the problem and some don't. I have repotted the palm lately and the roots looked healthy. The palm is my fastest growing dypsis and shows no visible signs of nutrition problems. I can only guess it's a fungus problem? When the oldest leafs start to die the leafs start to show white points before getting yellow. The newest 3 leafs are unaffected so far and I think about cutting all other infected leafs. If somebody can help me it would be highly appreciate…

Jubaea Chilensis -query

Spring finally appears to have arrived here in SE UK, after a very wet, very grey and very long winter.... Luckily, we didn't experience much in the way of severe cold, with nothing more than a a few frosty mornings. Every palm bar one suffered from spear pull after (a very cold) winter 2022/2023, I'm not expecting too many issues this year. But time will tell... My small Jubaea suffered from spear pull early last year and as a result only put out one crimpled frond by the end of the summer. It has already stared to put out new fronds this year, however, it now appears to be growing at any angle. Does anyone know if it will straighten up in time, or is th…

Aloe Hercules

Hello! New to this..I just recently bought a beautiful 5 gallon aloe hercules. I would love for it to thrive and not kill it lol. What brand soil do you suggest I use for it? I plan to keep it in a pot for now. I've heard mixed reviews about the cactus and palm mix from Kellogs which I have. I've also heard it's best to add pumice or perlite to the mix. Also can anyone give me advice on which size pot to get? how often to water and best place to let it hang out outside? Thanks!

The downsides of indoor jungles

I have plants stacked on plants. No idea how many, in the hundreds. I love my palms and plants but it's also work. I always have weeds, and pest problems arise. And I have so many plants that I sometimes miss some when watering. Having plants underneath other plants means problems can run amock for some time without me realizing it. I also constantly burn fronds that grow too close to the grow lights. I'm currently watering once a week and it takes 20-30 minutes. Grow box gets watered daily and I have to refill the humidifier. Takes 5-10 minutes, not bad. Currently have these little white pests, there are millions. Only way I know to handle an infe…

Hi everyone, I have been growing two date palms in from seed for the last 2 years. I am based just outside Amsterdam, Netherlands. I gave a third one to a friend who lived in Portugal after it started growing a bit from the seed and it is doing great. That one has a thick trunk by now and many more leaves, which are also darker green. I have attached a photo for comparison purposes. However, my two date palms are not doing very well... The leaves have started getting brown and some have even dried out. Is it too much water? Too little water? I also noticed that small roots have started coming out at the bottom of the pot of one palm, but nothing major yet. …

Howea belmoreana indoors/potted
by sashaeffer- 25 replies

Love these palms but have the worst luck with them as well as it's cousin the Kentia palm Curious if anyone here has kept a Belmoreana indoors with success and what care as far as watering culture yours had. One of the fronds of this one has slowly started to turn brown starting from the tip and working it's way back. Frond doesn't feel "dry" Palm hasn't been misted and it's in the pot and soil it grew up in, I only painted it. When inside for the winter, it's been sitting in front or close to a east facing window with little direct light, but some. As you can see the newest frond is nice and green and it's pushing a main new spear with another one…

Weird leaf condition

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?

Repotting day
by Monòver- 25 replies

Spring arrives to Spain and i think is the best moment to repot a few palms that must wait for more time to be planted. I hope they will be growing healthy in the new pot. The first is Johannestmania altifrons. One year in the old pot and i think is the moment for a big pot. People says i must be worried with root disturbance, but last year was perfect and i think, this will be the same. And now, Howea forsteriana

Repotting palms
by David_Sweden- 25 replies
- 20.5k views
There actually is no thread with repotting in the heading (except this which is interesting but rather specific). Right now I'm considering repotting a few palms, especially these 3 small ones, a Foxtail, Lipstick and Parlour Palm: The Lipstick and Foxtail have several roots coming out ~½" of drainage holes, and the Parlour Palms have risen above ground so that I can see ~½" of the roots. The Lipstick got all new soil in September, the Foxtail I exchanged half the soil for when I got it in June, the Parlour I only added some soil on the top layer for and its pot is very small for the size but it does great. Some say that when roots begin to show like this, it i…

bonsai Lytocaryum weddellianum as Bonsai
by Pal Meir- 1 follower

My 10 Lytocaryum weddellianum grown up from seed in 2013 were more and more getting too tall for my desktop, except one (N°1306c) which I had kept quite small by very brutal root pruning. (But even the other pruned palm N°1306a is growing too tall …) Now I am intending to keep my 3 one year young L batavum as small bonsai palms. First, I will keep them as long as possible in their tiny Ø8xH9cm clay pots. Second, I will expose them also to direct sunlight, but watching that they don’t get burned. @Jamesasb , you have mentioned (and posted a pic) one year ago that you are making one of your L weddellianum to a bonsai. Are there already visible and positive resul…

Potted washy noob in michigan
by WinterPalm- 25 replies
- 1.5k views
Hi all, I’m new here ☺️ I’ve always thought about having a potted palm. I saw a thread on here recommending washies as a palm that can live in a pot and handle dry winter air indoors, so I decided to give them a try since the seedlings are so cheap on eBay. I ordered three bare-root washy seedlings from an ebay seller in Nevada and received six. They arrived on a cold day in March (about 25F) with roots wrapped in damp paper towels. They were beautiful on arrival. This is how they looked right after potting. Before planting, I soaked the roots in distilled water with kelp extract. then I planted them in a mix of Miracle Gro Palm/Cactus, perlite and sand, ba…

Hi I just received some great looking seedlings from an IPS member. I want to buy some of these tall pots online as box stores don't have them. (I am USA based) Can anybody point me in the right direction on "Thatzone site or that bay site"? Also I have some sand on hand when they installed my pool 4 years ago. Is it ok to use that instead of perlite to repot? Do I mix at 50% sand or perlite and 50% potting mix? Thxs a lot Pat

Which palm in a pot in MI?
by RaychHasDatePalms- 24 replies
- 2.7k views
So I know, I know.... palms and Michigan, and we have had this discussion many times before. HOWEVER. I have had bad luck with keeping palms alive, obviously, but I feel I have chosen the wrong ones. Plenty of us have had this discussion and I know plenty of you are able to do it. (Yes, KinzyJr, I am referring to you —and others) So. What do you think? I am looking at a pygmy date palm, a Christmas palm, or a cycid that has a similar silhouette to the other two mentioned. It would be in a pot in my office, which has a window but I’d say partial sun as opposed to full sun. (I do also have a grow lamp in there that my hardy fig has loved but th…

Dypsis decaryi problem

I hope someone could help. I ordered this palm from the same place I got the last palm which was in good condition. Unfortunately, this time I was not happy. I received this palm 1 week ago. It traveled 5 days. It had slightly dried spots on the leaves. I watered and washed it because it was soil on the leaves. Since then, these brown spots have spread. I suspected a fungus (The other palm, which also came, has brown spots on the end leaves, picture of that on the bottom), so I just did a fungal treatment. I notice that it has a large potassium deficit and I already carefully gave a little potassium (I quess something 0,75-1 ml/l) in the first watering. I wonder if…

trachycarpus fortunei to deep?

I bought this trachy from a nursery a couple weeks ago and I just looked at the trunk. and I'm unsure, but I feel like it was planted too deep in this pot? I just want a second opinion if it's supposed to be this deep because there are roots growing higher than the bottom of it, so I'm confused. I tried to take the best photos and video I could, but if I need to take more I can IMG_2766.mp4

Splitting my D.Lutescens
by Philly J- 24 replies
- 1.6k views
When I did my W.Robusta repotting, I decided it was time to separate the two biggest from this bunch in hopes of making them trunk at some point. I put each of them in terracotta and in the same mix: Leca bottom, half perlite half coir, leca top. Here’s hoping they don’t go into too much of a shock. I didn’t have to rip any of the major roots from each of my big guys, took my time to separate them and if there were any rips it was from the smaller clump (which also got repotted but if that dies of shock I’m not as concerned, I want these two beauties to trunk though in a pot, which I don’t see very often). I will have to get some support for the tallest fronds I …

Need more help with Xmas palms please
by Noob2palms- 24 replies
- 2.3k views
Hi! I posted a bit ago about my Xmas palms fading and it was determined that they needed to be acclimated the the sun as they may have been grown in a warehouse / shade. I have since followed the guide to slowly acclimate them. my palms seem to be look worse and worse and days go by. I have a moisture meter and am watering them in accordance to that and my finger in the dirt. The leaves are very dry and it has been windy here as well. (I’m in NYC) my biggest concern is that the spear leaf now seems to be browning a bit... does this still look like sun damage? Perhaps something else is at play? the garden place I got them from said they are fertil…
