Heating mat safety tips?
by Andrew19- 3 replies
- 382 views
Hi everyone, Hoping to start my palm tree-growing journey within the next few weeks. Being in a cooler climate I understand the importance of purchasing a heating mat. I am just wondering if anyone has any safety tips? I am sure they are not too fire-prone but just want to take the proper precautions as I have already experienced a house fire in my lifetime (Christmas morning 2009) and wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. Thanks in advance folks, Andrew

In the ground vs in a pot.... it's a race!
by Makaisland Palms- 1 follower

So I'm just wondering what everyone thinks about transferring a palm from a pot to the ground in the spring, and then back into a pot for winter. The question is, do the benefits of getting better growing conditions in the ground, outweigh the drawbacks of being disturbed so much (as opposed to just staying in a pot permanently). Obviously some conditions apply here; 1) clearly, if I had the climate for these plants to just stay in the ground year 'round I certainly would, so assume this is in a cooler climate, with 6 to 8 months of possible outdoor growing time. 2) some palms just do not like to be disturbed, so I won't be trying this with any of those pic…

Is there a good moss or grass that could be put in the pot to liven up the appearance around the base of the trunk? Or would that be a bad idea? Thanks! Tim

I have some year-old Bismarckia seedlings that have been growing outdoors in 14” deep treepots, mostly in coco coir with various mixes (some compost, some worm castings, some nothing else). I did fertilize months ago with some Palm Gain but haven’t re-fertilized. Any idea what would cause the leaves to start turning brown from the tips? They’re being mostly watered by rain right now, and other plants have been lush all spring from the rain...although these pots drain much better than local clay soil. Oh, and I have had squirrel trouble with some digging in the top inch or two of soil of some of the containers.

Majesty palm help!

Hi everyone! First time poster and newly obsessed with plants. I recently got a majesty palm and planted it in miracle grow moisture control soil. It’s looking a little sad and wilted and I’m worried that I should have used a different soil. Do I wait it out to see how the palm does or should I report with a better soil ASAP? This soil never seems to dry out but I’m not sure the palm is getting the moisture it needs from it.

Licuala paludosa
by Cape Garrett- 4 replies
- 724 views
This plant has been in the same original pot for 3 to going on 4 years. Rooted in the ground but is doing fantastic. Fertilized once. Do you think I should repot it or leave it alone? Not a brown tip on her. The leaves seem much more sturdier than my Licuala spinosa, as well The winds have not even bent any leaflets at all compared to the spinosa. I even pulled a king palm leaf off of her 3 days ago with no damage. Anyone else growing this palm in south Florida planted out or in pots?

I am also attaching pics of the plant when i got it and its placement near the window and some recent pics i took. pics can be viewed here: https://www.flickr.com/gp/187508046@N05/8G2s8X I bought an 8 feet tall majesty palm in a very healthy condition. it was potted in a 12 inch pot. i did not repot it since it looked very healthy(no browning on the leaf/lush green tall leaves). Over the period of next few months a leaf here and there started browning and i trimmed it away. i thou…

My baby has been at my dads in zone 7a. Cold zone 7a for the winter where it has room to grow very tall and get a lot of light. It’s doing very well today is 12c very warm for January. With climate change it has gotten warmer and warmer every year. I sold my snowmobile this year due to this. Crazy for Canada. Here is a few pics of it outside and a video I made about the area

Wonder what's suddenly gone wrong

I know it won't cost much to replace at this size but annoyed what has suddenly happened to the little Rhopalostylis Baueri I have been growing since last spring. It has been doing excellent but today I suddenly noticed the newest frond besides the emerging spear has shriveled up. The older two are still ok. I have been watering it almost daily given the hot dry weather but have never watered when in full sun. It should be impossible to over water when growing in free draining container mix, I thought. Any ideas? For now will assume just too much sun and dry heat. It's been getting two hours of direct sun only, about 3 to 5pm, all summer and that has not been a …

Just curious if any member on here waters their potted palms by sitting them in a container larger than their pot to let the palm absorb water from the bottom up and if it's overall a better way to water at least the palms that aren't to big.

Hi, I have recently started with my first palms, planting from seeds. The plan is to have them potted and indoor as I live a cold climate. I have successfully germinated adonidia merrillii and a few other species. For the adonidias I want to grow a couple of doubles and triplets, but I wonder how far apart seeds should be planted to achieve them all growing up? Is there a minimum distances required or are triplets etc typically created by planting young trees next to each other? Thanks

Need help with this dypsis
by Alcibiades- 1 follower

- 1.9k views
One of my dypsis has a problem since last year. Some leafs start to dry out from the tips of the leafs into the middle of the leafs. I cut out the affected parts of the leafs which slows down the process. Some leafs have the problem and some don't. I have repotted the palm lately and the roots looked healthy. The palm is my fastest growing dypsis and shows no visible signs of nutrition problems. I can only guess it's a fungus problem? When the oldest leafs start to die the leafs start to show white points before getting yellow. The newest 3 leafs are unaffected so far and I think about cutting all other infected leafs. If somebody can help me it would be highly appreciate…

My Coconut Died :(
by clevelandtropicsmaybe- 16 replies
- 1.1k views
Well I guess the predictions came true. My coconut was not able to even survive half way through the winter. My best guess was that it just didn’t get enough warmth for too long to survive. Every 2 weeks a leaf would turn brown and this continued until the plant was no more. Also when I was getting rid of it, the whole plant separated from the nut. Does this sound consistent with a chilly coconut? I also wanted to keep the wooden part of the nut and see what was inside and what’s inside is pretty interesting. RIP Coco 2019-2020

Help with possible fungus ID
by Melinda G- 6 replies
- 597 views
Help please! Below are pics of several different lesions I have noticed on my Carpoxylon. Older leaves seem to be more significantly impacted. I have found several small, ovoid, flat, dark brown to black spots on the leaflets that are easily removed. However, I have also found irregular, black lesions at the base of a few leaflets, and today noticed some sticky, sap-like substance on a few of the leaflet bases/rachis. I am very worried this is a diffuse fungal disease. The Carpoxylon is kept under an overhang due to sun sensitivity. New spear seems to be coming in as expected. Any advice as to the culprit and treatment options would be immensely appreciated. I am ve…

New Windmill Palm
by TedNoah1- 27 replies
- 6.1k views
Hello! I have a baby Chinese windmill palm being delivered to me this week. I will be putting it in a rather large pot outside. At the moment, I’m leasing my home and don’t own it. We aren’t allowed to plant trees of any size. I live in Chesapeake, Virginia (the greater Virginia Beach region), zone 8A. Will the tree be safe outside during the winter? I see these palms all over the place in Virginia. They seem to be very popular where I live. However, I’ve yet to see one in a pot, most are in the ground and growing quite large! Any tips/advice welcome! :-)
