I’ve grown a fair amount of fruit trees but Euterpe Edulis is the first palm I’ve tried growing. I tried a year ago at starting one of these but I put it in a spot that was try much full sun and it died pretty quickly. In January I planted another young Euterpe Edulis palm and the leaves are starting to brown, see attached image. Is this likely an artifact of the cool/dry season? What else might cause this? What is a typical routine for planting and caring for a young palm of this species so I might do better moving forward?

sabal causiarum shriveling up

I posted this in potted palms, but I'm going to try again here because it's an emergency, and I don't know what to do next. I let it sit in water for 30 minutes or so the other day, and it just didn't bounce back, but luckily my other one did. This one isn't bouncing back, and it's starting to fade in color. I'm so worried about it. I don't know if it's ready to be planted out because they both have roots coming out of the bottoms and have been in these bags for 2 years now, I think. I was going to plant them anyway this year, but I don't know if I should just plant it out if that would help or not.

What do I do now?
by Than- 5 replies
- 140 views
I planted these seeds of various species few weeks back. I put the plastic cups in bleach and the medium in the oven as always.. yet now some of them are covered in these white fungi. I tried a fungicide but didn't do anything. The cups have been covered with plastic film and have been placed on heat mats. Are the seeds damaged? Should I remove, sterilize and repot in new medium? If a seed sprouted, would these fungi damage the seedling?

C. onilahensis--keep or remove offset?
by Foggy Paul- 1 follower
- 3 replies
- 113 views
Hi all. Our C. onilahensis has been in the ground about three years now. It was very slow but is starting to pick up, probably helped by the past two good rain winters. We planted out two, a five and a one gallon if I recall correctly. The five gallon has always been bigger of course, but the one gallon is catching up. My question is about the five gallon. It has four offsets, the smallest of which doesn't seem to be oriented very well in relation to the other three. Would you let it develop or remove it? The one gallon plant has three very solid looking offsets. TIA for all suggestions. The plant overall: The offset in question: Another view: …

Help ID This Coconut Pest
by agroventuresperu- 3 replies
- 107 views
Some sort of scale? They are on the undersides of the leaves, and looks like they excrete a black substance that ends up on top of the leaves. Lots of ants, so it appears there's some sort of mutually-beneficial relationship going on. Any organic solutions? It's the only coconut on the whole property I've ever seen with this problem. The coconut is probably the fastest-growing specimen we've ever had. It's in a spot that has access to more fertility. Lots of compost and sawdust has been placed around it during the past couple years. It's also received the same additional inputs as all the other coconuts this past year: ulexite, dolomite, gypsum, and potassi…

Solitary Lutescens-type seedling question
by Hilo Jason- 2 replies
- 141 views
I’ve posted this palm several times here on PalmTalk. Collected as seed by a friend in Madagascar. He referred to it as Dypsis “column” due to its size. It’s a stocky solitary Lutescens-type palm. It recently started seeding for me and I’m getting about 100% germination on the seeds. But what’s interesting is that some of the sprouts are green and some are golden. Does this also happen with the regular common Lutescens? I’ve never sprouted Lutescens so I don’t know. Would love any input. Parent plant: and here are a couple of the community pots of seedlings showing the golden and green coloring: Also interesting to note is …
