Fertilizer for indoor seedlings
by JohnAndSancho- 8 replies
- 686 views
I've used a mix of slow release, Jobes palm food, and fish emulsion/seaweed/humic acid in the past but is there anything in particular that's awesome for small indoor seedlings? The fish and seaweed stuff doesn't smell all that great. I guess it wouldn't be an issue if I didn't have to keep these plants in my bedroom due to cats and kittens, and Sancho would eat the Jobes lol.

I would not believe it if I didn’t see it myself. Did you know you can buy rare palm trees online through Walmart! That’s right ! just go online to their website and type in palm trees. Some of the prices are way to expensive but it doesn’t hurt to look 👀. Right! There was a few that weren’t to bad of a price.

Fertilizers for coir (coconut substrate)
by David_Sweden- 1 follower

Hi. I would like to hear about your experiences and opinions about fertilizers for coir. My go-to fertilizer if not coir is one that exists only in my country (Sweden), called "Blomstra", it is liquid, one component, developed by the Swedish agricultural university in 1950, and the guy I know of responsible for developing it (Tom Ericsson) has recommended to use it every watering (half dose) and that principle seems spread among other believable persons, like the American Orchid Society. But you should then know Sweden is full of peat and all potting soil has >90% peat, it is understood, persons like me who try coir are weird, and nobody uses bark at all ever. …

Kentia palm has curled leaflets
by Björn- 1 follower
- 4 replies
- 321 views
Hello, A year ago I bought a Kentia palm. It is a tuft of three young plants, about 1.20 m high. It is noticeable that one of the plants has a slightly different appearance: Its fronds are rather stiff, since the leaflets are slightly curled. Even older leaflets do not flatten out, so that the fronds do not hang over as elegantly. Is this a common phenomenon or is the plant sick? Could the plant perhaps have root damage? Thank you for your answers!

Improve soil without removing the palm from the pot
by Palmfarmer- 2 followers
- 7 replies
- 379 views
Got a pretty big pot with a Kentia in it. Recently I notice the medium in the pot looks allmost muddy when watering. I think the Medium I planted in was wood compost. I was thinking about gently digging out all the "soil" I can without removing the palm from the pot then filling it up again with some fresh grow medium along with something that improves drainage. Mainly Sand, perlite and Pumice. Anyone done this successfully?

Hi guys! Anyone have an idea as to what could be causing these brown/dry/yellow damage spots on the new frond that just opened last week and the new spear of my small Dypsis lutescens? I believe the spear is growing at a decent rate for indoors (first emerged last Thursday, 4 inches long today) but it’s not looking good. It even has a tear in it which I’ve never seen before. I have a feeling I may have overfed it as the spear also feels quite tender compared to the previous spear. Conditions it is in: - Large south-east facing window but I have to supplement with grow light over winter averaging 1500-2000 foot candles for 12-14 hours - Temperatures ar…

Hi all, I'm looking for advice. I was on a trip for two months, and during that time some of my palm trees got sick. They were definitely overwatered, but now it's fixed. Soil is well-draining. Any thoughts? In the first photo, T. Fortunei, in the second, P. Dactylifera. I found black dots and tips only on trachies, all other palm trees are ok. The yellow spots on the date older leaf are similar to those I found on my mango tree. Thank you all in advance, peace

What are some good plants I can put in my pot to accentuate the palm without risking overwatering or drying the palm out? I have a 2 foot Mexican fan, and a 2 foot pindo palm but every cheap flower I have in there keeps dying would cacti work or would they dry out the palm since they don’t require as much watering ? I only water the palms once a week so I don’t want water hungry plants in there with them. Also what are good tips for keeping them healthy in pots for a long time ?

Clear/Translucent pots
by JohnAndSancho- 5 replies
- 286 views
Any negatives to using clear/translucent pots? A handful of my babies are in soda bottles/clear cups and the like and I kind of dig being able to see the roots. I'm assuming there could be some consequences if I were to put a rootbound palm in full sun or something, maybe. But I had a handful of big palms in black nursery pots on concrete in full brutal Texas sun, too and they loved it.

Sabal minor dieback cause?
by NCFM- 8 replies
- 218 views
I moved several dozen of my 3gal size palms into my basement for the winter back in November, and I've noticed some of them have developed some die back since then. They don't get the TLC I wish I could give them since I've been off at college, but my parents do their best to water them while I'm gone and they get plenty of light from fluorescent lights set on a timer. The other sabal species I've got down there seem to be fine; I'm only noticing dead foliage on the minors. Does anyone have any insight into what might be the cause? Here's some pictures:

tomentum
by SALOttawa- 12 replies
- 416 views
Has anyone in this group heard of tomentum? I am getting a white sticky substance on some of my palms. I have had this issue in the past as well. I had always assumed it was a fungus. However, I cam across a post on Facebook where someone had an issue with a similar substance. Someone else commented and claimed it was tomentum. They claim it is normal and not harmful. I tried to do a bit of research. I did not find a great deal of information about it, but I have always treated it as a fungus by cleaning it off and then spraying with copper fungicide. It usually occurs on my TFs but I have also had problems with it on some dracaneas. When it is present, the plant always a…

Hey, I just bought a windmill palm for my backyard from northeast Ohio palms. I was wondering if the Palm would be alright with me keeping it outside for the winter and just taking it in if it got below 20f. I’m planting it in the ground in March. (picture of my new palm) Its right in front of my glass door and next to a brick wall that gets pretty warm, it’ll be planted a few feet from where it is now, also in front of the brick wall (southern sun exposure) as an fyi.
