“Winged it” with a grow bulb + C. Cataractarum

So after a ton of research, I decided to “wing it” with a c. cataractarum and a grow bulb. My living room has next to no natural light and it was killing me not having a plant in the room. I used a plug-in pendant light hung from the ceiling and a GE grow bulb with a (cheap, $20, wasn’t willing to risk this failing on an expensive palm, haha) C. cataractarum. I am seeing solid results so far! It’s been about 2 months and this thing has fought off spider mites all while throwing out and opening 3 new fronds, with two large spears about to open now. I was worried about the fronds that don’t get a ton of light, but they just keep growing and I haven’t had a singl…

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

Hey everyone my local palm green house has a bunch of 15g roebellini that are producing seeds. The owner told me I can have whatever I want. Which is cool. Here is one pic. Do you think they will be viable. I would love to buy one. But I already have some and don’t really need it

So glad to have found this forum today. I have a 17 year old majesty palm that looks terrible but is very sentimental. It got sunburnt in the car while moving across the country about a year ago, but continues to produce new fonds and plenty of seed pods. I staked it with wooden dowels before the trip. Now that I know it has survived, I’m ready to repot. But the trunk is so thin, and I’d like to plant it deeper in a bigger pot. How high up the exposed trunk can I go? Can I plant it deep enough to cover the skinny green section? Go a little deeper and cover the slightly wider brown segment? Or go all the way and burry it to the base of the plant? I’m afraid of ma…

19yo Potted Coconut

I brought my coconut outside for its annual shower! It gets dusty indoors here in Phoenix, AZ. This is my pride and joy. This palm is where my screen name comes from. I bought it from Home Depot in the summer of 2000. It's been moved around the valley from house to apartment back to house a total of 7 times. It gets so neglected I really have no idea what's keeping it alive. It's never been fertilized with anything but dirty aquarium water. I only started doing that in the past 4 years. It's never been repotted. I just fill in the top with new soil when it gets low. It sat in a dark apartment for a few years. It's almost always parked under an AC vent. It currently sits …

Help! My majesty palm now has 3 brown leaves (out of 7 total) over the span of a week or so. The 4th frond is now becoming mostly brown, though has yellow. I move it to partial sunlight 5' from a window about 4 to 6 hours a day. I let it sit in the shower at night time for the humidity. It is in a bottom self-watering pot. https://i.stack.imgur.com/8Y3iF.jpg https://i.stack.imgur.com/keil7.jpg https://i.stack.imgur.com/L4Gi7.jpg https://i.stack.imgur.com/7PPrI.jpg

3g to 10g Pot for Ravenea Trio?
by knell- 2 replies
- 1.1k views
Would a jump from 3 gallon to 10 gallon (11-37L) be too much for a Ravenea rivularis trio? They need to be sized up for the spring and that is the size I have available without going and getting another pot. I feel like water retention shouldn't bother them too much since they enjoy wet soil, so my instincts say it should be fine.

A CIDP I once had
by Howeadypsis- 6 replies
- 1k views
I just found this old photo from around 2006 or 07. It shows a CIDP I bought as a houseplant. I had young kids back then and I realised it had to go outside because of those thorns (I forget the technical name for them) . Unfortunately it didn't do well out there and I had no greenhouse at the time and it deteriorated. I know these things are thorny but I can't help wanting to grow them. Hence why I have P.dac seedlings on the go... I'm drawn to what I can't have!

A Coconut in London 1 2

I've finally succumbed and bought myself a Malayan Red Dwarf variety, very reasonably priced on eBay at $36 inc. shipping! It appears the seller shaved both sides of the nut to fit it in the shipping box, although I imagine that making the sides more porous by doing so, expedites the emergence of roots? I can see roots starting to poke through on both sides already. My mix as follows (roughly in equal parts): Seramis / 2 - 7 mm pine propagating mulch / Coir I'm using rainwater in my mix. This is in keeping with my 'grow box' seedling cultivation, whereby I've been using only steam evaporated distilled water; too expensive for a coconut, so rainwater se…

A few more palms to be planted when ready
by happypalms- 0 replies

As with any collection of plants they need to be grown to a plantable size before planting into an established garden the problem for new plants is the competition from the advanced plants competing for light and moisture also the danger for the new plants is falling branches and dropping palm leaves flattening them on the spot they also need to marked with some sort of bright tape for future watering and maintenance making it easier to see them in the established jungle garden hopefully one day the new garden plants will look as beautiful as the established one
