Hello, I have picked up a 5 fallen fruits of a Christmas palm tree 2 weeks ago, removed all of the husk and submerged them into water for around 5 days after which the flat ends of the seeds started germinating. https://m.imgur.com/Hrjr4Zj I have transferred the seeds to soil in a shallow container with good drainage a week ago just so it can continue to sprout as I have noticed no changes after a day in the water.https://m.imgur.com/mlpz8Eq Would this setup be sufficient for the first month or so or would I need a deeper container? If this wouldn’t work I have a pot around 3.5 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide. https://imgur.com/a/L5AssAq C…

A couple of surprises here in the Atlanta area, which became a barren wasteland after 2014. Big Orange trucked in a bunch of out-of-zone palms for us. Here are a couple at $80 each --> Question: Do y'all resize photos prior to posting here? I try to reduce to an 800x600 size for loading on devices.

growing palms indoors

A question for the palm experts. I know that many plant's growth will be limited by the size of the container they grow in, is this true of all palms as well? I currently have a few palms growing indoors, that cannot survive the hellish summer we have here including a trachycarpus fortunai, Dypsis Lutescens and a few Andondia Merillii sorry if I misspelled the names....

Seedlings and fertilizer
by Alcibiades- 1 reply
- 713 views
When do you start fertilizing your seedlings? Some say that you have to wait for the palm to repell the seed. I usually start fertilizing my seedlings when the second leaf emerges. I use a highly dilluted fertilizer though (1/4) . Is there a general rule of thumb?

Figured I'd throw up some pics of everything I have growing in the apartment. First pic is 2 Dracaenas, a Ti plant, a Rhapsis Excelsea and a Howea Forsteriana. 2nd is a little Monstera that just put out a new leaf. 3rd is 2 clumps of C. Elegans, 4th is a bigger clump of C. Elegans and 2 Lytocaryum Weddellanium(growing like tiny rockets). 5th is a shot of my patio, 6th is my Chambeyronia Macrocarpa and the C. Cataractum I was ready to chuck into the dumpster (it's pushing new growth now). 7th is a Calthea that isn't happy but keeps living. 8th is what I hope is my Queen palm finally going pinnate, 9th is my Washy pushing another leaf (still wearing the …

Pygmy - My first plant and need some encouragement

I got a pygmy date palm (phoenix robellini) a month back from costco, repotted it in good cactus palm potting mix with perlite and worm castings, added slow release fertilizer for palm in the container. I use moisture meter to avoid over or under water. I have it in my patio, it receives direct morning sun for 2-3 hours and then Sun goes away. It still has brown crispy tips..they get so crispy and dry that they just break off from the center of the leaf. No pests. I also see some orangish spots appearing recently on the egdes of the leaves. Any suggestions on how I can keep it lush and green? Should I move it indoor? Should I add any weekly liquid fertilizer or foliar sp…

Hi, I'm new here and new to palms. I live in Utah and owned a large Dypsis several years ago and likely killed it due to my lack of knowledge on how to care for it. I recently ordered a Dypsis Decaryi from an eBay seller in Florida. The seller sent what looks like a pretty healthy palm and included several King and Areca seedlings in the package. These will obviously be kept indoors, but I've got them out getting a bit of sun and a good watering after planting. Does this look ok for a planting depth and soil? For the King and Areca seedlings, if there is still a seed attached to the roots, should it be at soil level, or below, and if so, how much below? …

All of the Licuala I’ve grown or acquired, can thrive in a pot, for what seems forever. These two in particular have been in the same pot for at least three years now and look great. L. ramsayii is another one that that had a long life in a container and always looked fantastic. Root bound….no problem. First one is L. grandis. The second two are L. lauderbachii. Tim

hello, Hope all are doing well. I re potted a coconut palm from a 15" pot to 20". Per some posts I read here, I have used Micro life. I was wondering if I need to use salt, HastaGro and Bonide (BND7458) - Grass Beater Concentrate at this time? I bought it in Florida last November. it was infested with scale but had shiny leaves. I did baby it last winter, this winter I would like to see if I can leave it out a bit longer in a bit lower temps. it was under a patio during the summer, does receive east sun.

Container Foxtail Palm Growth Speed?

I’ve had this foxtail since last summer and has since rooted very well in the container and is now beginning to grow rapidly! Just opened a new frond and already has a new spear and great stem extension! How tall can these get in containers and how fast will it get to say 4 feet of trunk or so? When should I repot this? This summer or next?

Palm frond is bent

Good morning fellow palm growers! Since this is my first post, I thought I’d briefly introduce myself. I’m originally from Canada (born and raised), and permanently moved to LA in 2018. I’ve always loved palm trees due to how elegant they are, and how awesome they look. Not to mention seeing the growth of all that time and effort right before your eyes lol. I’ve spent a solid 2-4 years learning and researching tons of information about the various palm species, soil requirements, what to look for in nutrient deficiencies, etc. I finally decided to pick up my first Mexican fan palm April 21st, 2022. The grower I got it from had germinated it in this clay-sand like mixture.…

Last indoor palm

All grown up and moving out. We have had this Chamaedorea metallica inside for over 10 years now, it has flowered most years but we cut the stalks off before they got too big and consequently don't know what sex it is. It surprisingly, lived very happily in plain cheap potting mix in that big pot right up until last year when it soil finally became too compacted and soggy and exhausted I suppose. You can see the second last few leaves came out smaller. It had not been fertilized or any soil amendment right up until last year when the leaves reduced size. I then repotted it in a very loose mix. I am now just waiting to see what the flower stalk that is developing is, …

I am new to palms and received my first palm, chamaedorea metallica, a week ago from an online seller. upon arrival the plant looked healthy but had some weird looking variegation on its leaves with the metallic sheen portions surrounds by a black border (see below) as the days have progressed the leaves have gotten a white rim around the metallic sections and very stiff and dry. the plant is still in its nursery pot and needs a repot but i’m trying to let it acclimate first. any insights as to what may be going on would be much appreciated!

Hello my fellow palm lovers! It’s been quite a while and I’m exited to be back. I’ve been very busy over the summer with my family, so all the traveling and everything is finally over. Anyways, after a while new fronds on my sago “palm”, ( I hate calling it a palm, because it’s now) has finally started developing. And they are looking nice. Sadly my date palms died so I’m growing new ones. Also if any of you care I’ve made a yt channel. It’s @jakesplants on YouTube. Looking forward to more post's from me

Hydroponic Dypsis lutescens
by PsyPalm- 1 reply
- 718 views
Just put these two d. lutescens palms in a pure water setup, I'm curious to see how they do. My plan is to change the water every three days or so, and add a diluted dose of FloriGro 2-1-6 food to the water after the first week. After a thorough rinse I soaked the palms in a weak hydrogen peroxide bath for half an hour, then I carefully wrapped the top 2" of the root systems in a curled up wash cloth and stuck it all in a vase of filtered water. finalVideo_29.MOV

Issue with older Serenoa repens fronds

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if you could tell me what might be going on with my palm. It is still growing out of all of the shoots but some of the older fronds are turning black and shriveling. It started mostly after I brought it in for the winter. It has been inside for almost 2 months and has another 2 before it goes back out. Is this no big deal or is there something I can do? Thanks!
