Planting Palms in Pots
by Robert D. Young- 4 replies
- 487 views
Greetings, One of my hobbies is to attempt to grow chamaedorea palms (elegans mainly) as 'trunked' plamts. In order to do that, it's appropriate to re-pot every few years. These palms seem sensitive to soil type, any recommendations on the best potting strategy for chamaedorea elegans especially? I also have chamaedorea oblongata, but they are more generalist (able to survive a wider variety of soil options).

Absolute noob with a kentia palm
by Aspiringplantmom- 1 follower

Just moved into my boyfriends apartment, and I have no experience whatsoever with plants. But I’ve made it my mission to revive a beautiful plant that came with his apartment. He has what appears to be a kentia palm in ill health. I’m trying to revive it but I have very limited knowledge. I think it was under watered, so I cut off brown leaf tips. It gets plenty of indirect natural light. I began dusting and misting it. I am wondering what you guys think: Do I need to repot it? If so, are there any recommended resources for how to properly repot it and exactly what supplies/planters to purchase. I have access to an outside porch area. Does the size of t…

Looking online and I can't really find any at a somewhat reasonable price. What would be a good alternative to use for getting better CEC and water retention growing in Pumice? I see they sell expandable clay pellets for cheap, there is also something called Arcilla Potasica/ pottasium clay anyone know what that might be? I added a photo here of the pottasium clay:

Licuala Grandis plant

Hello: In March 2023 I purchased a licuala grandis seedling at the Leu Gardens plant sale in Orlando, Fl. I keep it in a Florida room where there is filtered sunlight. I mist it 3 times a week and water it once a week with 16oz water if dry. It was doing fine until yesterday where the leaves just withered together and if I pull on the top(some call it the heart) of the plant it just comes out. I believe that means it died. Does anyone know why this happened and what I am doing wrong? I also had purchased Licuala seeds from Ebay and none of those took either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I guess I have to wait for the next plant sale in March 2024 to get a new…

Is this a pest and is it affecting my washingtonia robusta?
by killer_chili- 3 replies
- 269 views
I’ve repotted my washingtonia robusta several times and it is growing fine. Some of the older leaves look affected by something other than age. I am wondering if I am having an infestation of some kind of pest. I find these guys on the leaves just kind of hanging out. Low energy little guys, they let you just pluck them right off. The size is hard to tell but they are roughly under 1cm in length. They look like a weevil almost but they’re small. They may also be in the crown of my palm causing problems. what is this bug and how do I get rid of them if they are causing my tree problems? Thanks.

Growing in pure minerals/Pumice
by Palmfarmer- 29 replies
- 887 views
I got the idea from a youtube channel where they grew a Trachy in Pure Pumice with great sucess. They then made the drain hole at the side of the container kinda high so it could be filt up with water and the lower roots would benifit the same way as when hitting groundwater. I am just wondering what do I need to add to the Pumice to make this doable. I guess I need some material that can hold some nutrients. Also what kind of fertilizer would be used in this scenerio? solid organics will obviously not work so I will go syntetic. Will micronutrient deficiencies become a problem if I just feed it with a something like Nitrofoska?

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

Short answer is NO I had an alocasia potted in a farmers pot sitting in a decorative pot. It suffered a severe spider mite infestation so I elected to simply remove the alocasia from the pot and place it out doors. I then moved my kentia palm (also in a farmers pot) into the same decorative pot. Just sitting there. And guess what. Kentia palm now has spider mites. make sure you absolutely sanitize any pot your use if it suffered from an infestation

Dying indoor Lady Palm

This palm has been struggling inside for over a year now. I have new African violet potting mix for it but I read you shouldn’t repot if the plant is in distress. I was away for two weeks and I don’t think my house sitter took proper care of it. I’ve been trying to rehab it since. It has plenty of indirect sunlight and water (not too much). I mist it, I clean off its leaves, I tried 9-8-7 fertilizer on its “sibling” and it did not make it (same age, same nursery, same size). I live in 9B and I’m thinking about planting it outside to save it. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

sick trachycarpus fortunei?

Hello, i am new here to this forum and wanted to come on here to see if i could get some help on figuring out what could be stressing out my trachycarpus fortunei (windmill palm). I got it around 2014 shipped from Florida to Colorado. it’s about 7 years old and it’s been in a container its entire life, totaling 3 total pots up to this point. I’ve been wondering if that could be an issue as it’s been at least 2 or so years since i’ve repotted the palm. Aside from that i’ve always watered regularly and have tried to keep a good schedule. I’ve missed a few times here and there over the years and haven’t been 100% consistent (i mean who is) but i try not to let it dry o…
