Leaning Kentia
by Brianbrian- 8 replies
- 1.5k views
Hi! I just got a kentia palm and it leans heavily within the pot. Do I need to repot it? I do notice that the medium is quite loose so perhaps the palm shifted while in transit. The planter is surprisingly small for a palm of its size (10inch planter) Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Large indoor howea forsteriana specimens

Hey guys! I live in Seattle and today I walked through the WA State Convention Center downtown for the first time since covid hit and noticed they completely overhauled the indoor plantscaping and botanical design, a large part of it being the addition of a series of absolutely stunning howea forsteriana specimens. The largest was about 25 ft tall and solidly trunking which was a delight to examine as this is by far the biggest I have ever seen in real life. Just wanted to share some photos on here, I know I'm always looking for examples of larger/more mature howea specimens indoors so I thought some of you might find it fascinating

Majesty Palm splotchy leaves help
by samtnel@gmail.com- 2 replies
- 946 views
Hi, I recently put this palm in a pot outside (Houston, TX). The outside area is sort of like an atrium with diffuse light most of the day but direct sun for approx 2 hours/day. Palm has been in this new pot for about two weeks now with miracle gro moisture control soil and good drainage. I've watered it twice since potting. Does anyone know what these splotchy parts are? They seem to be growing from the end of the leaf and inward. There are also some darker spots, dryness, etc.

I love Howea forsteriana (have three solitary ones), and just purchased a Howea belmoreana. I have read that H. belmoreana does not do well in containers. Is this true? Any cultural differences between the two species? Do you prefer one to the other, why? Thanks in advance.

Droopy pgymy palm
by Bawnie- 11 replies
- 463 views
Hi - I purchased a home 6 months ago, which came with a large, beautiful pygmy date palm in the living room. I followed the previous owner's advice: I maintained the water level in the self-watering canister between the two red lines. Recently (in the last 2 months), I also started using Palm Focus in every other watering. In the last few weeks the plant has started to droop. There are some dry leaves, but I assume those are normal and need to be pruned at some point. Rather, my concern is that some of the healthy looking leaves also began to droop on the left side of the plant, and they fell off easily when touched. The left side of the plant now looks a b…

Pygmy Date Palm Soil and Care
by Dartolution- 28 replies
- 4.3k views
Hey guys, I had several pygmy date palms for years, until one year I forgot to take them in and it dropped down to 12F and frozen them all to the core. (Zone 7b) I lost 5-6 yr old palms. It sucked as you can imagine. I had 2 large pots in particular that had 3 trees per pot. Each tree had 1-2 ft of trunk on it. So this year Ive re-landscaped my entire property, and planted mediterranean fan palms in my back yard (zone 8a). I also have 2 sago cycads on my patio I plant to overwinter in the house. I wanted to get a 3 trunk pygmy date palm from lowes or HD and pot it up on the patio as well. Does anyone have any advice with t…

Coco pots

Has anyone used coco pots (pots from compressed coconut coir) for seedlings? What's your feedback? I read that when the plant needs a bigger pot you can just bury the old pot in the new, bigger one without removing it, which saves the plant the transplant shock.

First attempt at Cocos nucifera bonsai

About a week ago I picked up a small cocos nucifera from a local plant shop here in Seattle. Last night (after some deliberation and a whiskey or two) I decided to try and turn it into a bonsai piece. This is my first ever attempt at bonsai as well as my first time growing cocos nucifera so I'm prepared for disaster lol. I just wanted to share some pics of the process with you guys and see what you think My thinking is over the next few months the roots will grow down into the media of the bonsai pot, so when I remove the upper plastic sleeve I'll be able to remove the lava rock from underneath the coconut and have it be elevated above the soil on it's roots like…

Solitary/single trunk dypsis lutescens.
by PsyPalm- 2 followers

Hey guys! Over the past year and a half I've been playing around with different methods of growing d. lutescens. Seems like they are kind of Honda Civic of indoor palms in the sense that they are very common and inexpensive, so I started with a few clusters of approx 20-30 small seedlings and split some of them up individually into their own pots as well as some into smaller groups. I'm a big fan of potted palms grown as solitary/single trunk specimens and I wanted to see how d. lutescens would do in that format, especially because I feel like I've never actually seen them grown to maturity as single trunk palms, seems like they are pretty much exclusively grown in clu…

One Cheap Hack: ..Extra space on a budget

Yep, i'm cheap.. What can i say Having a bunch of Scarlet and Mealy Cap Sage, and some other easy, non- woody things to start this year, was looking for an easy way to create as much space for starting plugs ( to be transplanted around the yard / into bigger pots later ) w/ out having to spend much, if any extra for pots.. let alone using something everyone probably has laying around the house.. No doubt this probably isn't anything new, but thought i'd share anyway for anyone looking to start a bunch of annual or easier perennial -type plants using pots you probably have, and saving some $$. Dilemma: Lots of seed to start, don't want to just spread the …

I need your advice. On Saturday, I will receive a Cocos Nucifera from someone, which does not grow well in this person, because it is too dark in the apartment and there is no adequate air humidity there. I would like to provide the palm with the best possible conditions. All I know is that the palm was purchased by this person 4 months ago. Over a week ago, it was transplanted. The flowerpot has no drain, although it has expanded clay at the bottom. The leaves from the purchase in the store were said to be torn and brown at the tips. But apparently one leaf this palm developed. My questions are: 1. How to secure a palm tree for transport by car (I live in Poland, zone …

I have a Washingtonia Robusta. It is a strong tree. The “soil” is extremely well-draining and only gets watered when needed. No overwatering; no underwatering. Humidity is at 53% and sits at a South-Facing window. Yesterday, as I was filling up my Whole-Room Humidifier, and I noticed the large green frond has folded in like an accordion. Thoughts on this?

desert palms indoors
by Kentuckypalms- 2 followers

I was wondering why desert palms arent grown indoors more often. It seems a common problem with indoor palms is low humidity. But all that I can think of come from wet environments. Could a brahea or washingtonia do well indoors. Well not exactly a desert palm, they are related to one, the pygmy date is probably the closest and they seem to do well indoors. Perhaps the thorns or light issues are why.

Bamboo Palm | First Plant

Hey folks. I am new here. I am new to plant care. I received this pretty, tall "Bamboo Palm." I have had issues identifying specifically what it is, so that I can find care tips for it. All I could really do was get a general sense looking at similar palms (cat?). I thought I was doing terribly because the car ride home stressed it out quite a bit, but its actually held up pretty well the last few months. I noticed some new leaves developing. I live in the pacific northwest. A lot of tutorials I've seen mention that one should remove dust from the plant? That seems a bit meticulous, as I don't have a traditional feather duster. The seller told me to water it once a …
