Any IPS/Forum members successful at keeping Licuala Grandis indoors in cold climates such as Zone 5a in Chicago? Would greatly appreciate advice. Mine is now sick - see photos and details below. BACKGROUND: Licuala Grandis replanted 2 days ago with Pal Meir soil mixture (Leca, Repti Bark, coars pumice since Seramis not sold here) When replanted, most of the soil around the root ball/roots was removed and it was planted in a smaller diameter pot. Roots were exposed for several minutes before being planted into your mixture. The new leaf growth has shrunk in size/decreased in width quite a bit and leaves have suddenly become drier. …

As the cool weather comes in my washies show these yellow dots and if I can remember when I originally had this issue when they were smaller but I can’t remember if this is potassium or magnesium issue? Also to kill 2 birds with one stone what kind of seeds are those on the table, my brother friend brought them from Florida to me and I think they are Fox tail or Royal?

Windmill Palm Watering indoors
by Dave_E- 2 replies
- 360 views
Hello Everyone, I'm in a pickle. I have (8) 14 month old Chinese Windmill palms and (6) that are from 6-8 months old. It is now winter here in the PNW, wind and rain and next week we get our first freezing temperatures. No big, the palms are all inside on a grow rack getting good grow light for 10 hours a day and of course being hand watered. Our son sent us tickets to go to Hawaii for the entire month of December (Christmas in Hawaii), who could say no to that? I researched all I can about indoor watering. The wife does not want to invest in an indoor drip system, she thinks they'll be ok in the bathtub with 6" of water in it. I disagree. I would appreciate com…

Hello again, I have this potted washingtonia (please tell me if it’s robusta or filifera) which I bought about 1 month ago. I water it once per week, after the soil is dry on the surface, but no sign of growing, absolutely no movement. Is it something normal? Should I worry or do something to keep it happy?

New licuala grandis, how does she look?
by Palmistry- 9 replies
- 1.5k views
Hi!! So I have a new licuala grandis that I am absolutely in love with. I live in NYC, so I have kept the humidifier running next to her and she sits in a bright room, but receives only indirect light. I’ve been wanting to repot her with the Pal Meir soil mix, especially from what I’ve been reading on here but am anxious to do so given that it arrived only a few days ago. My plan is to let it settle in and then repot in a couple months (maybe in early June). The plant looks like it came in regular potting soil. I am posting pictures of the leaves. Overall the plant looks bright and healthy but I recently noticed some yellow spots and small brown holes emerging o…

Anyone who has experience growing R. regias from seed, how fast do they grow? Mine sprouted about two months ago, unfurled the first leaf but nothing since. The leaf looks healthy. Is it too chilly for it to grow? Outdoors temperatures now fluctuate between 14C - 21C or 57 - 70F. I put it indoors on a heat mat if the temperature drops below that. Humidity is at around 50-70%. It is in shade in a big pot and I water once a week roughly. Any thoughts?

Little Bismarck that Could
by GoatLockerGuns- 3 replies
- 452 views
This little Bismarckia nobilis survived Hurricane Ian at my dad's house in Cape Coral, Florida relatively unscathed, and in a cheap plastic pot! This is the scene less than 100 yards away: He got tossed around and knocked over, but was still kicking when the skies cleared. I decided to bring him back to Texas with me: I thought the fronds looked really green on this guy. I would have expected them to be more silver since he has been palmate for some time now. Does anyone know if this is normal for a typical Bismarckia nobilis of this size, or is this looking more like the "Green Form" of the species? My dad's more mature plan…

Licuala Grandis Drying Leaves
by husmenusta- 5 replies
- 358 views
Luciala Grandis leaves are drying. I’m giving drinking water once a week, and spraying leaves with water. I am also using liquid fertiliser every 30-45 days. I transferred the pot last march but I have had this problem only for a month or so. I even had beautiful green leaves coming out and growed after transfer but now it’s also drying as you can see in the pictures. What can I do ? Should I buy humidifier ? More or less water? Any tips are appreciated.

Seeking advice for my indoor coconut palm
by Hydrangela- 14 replies
- 888 views
Hi all! First time coconut owner here! I’m based in “sunny” London, UK, and bought a potted coconut a few months ago. I repotted it in a mix of Seramis clay granules, LECA, and reptile bark. We had an unusually warm summer and my coconut loved being outside all day. The temperature has now dropped dramatically (highs of around 17C/63F) and my coconut has been moved inside, my house is around 21C/70F. She’s currently next to my humidifier set at 60% by a west facing window. Ever since I moved her indoors she doesn’t seem to be doing so well. I can’t tell if I am over or underwatering, and it’s been quite cloudy for the past few weeks so am thinking of purcha…

Over wintering in a conservatory

Evening all After an unusually long / warm summer in the UK, the daytime & evening temperatures are now noticeably lower, that said, next week is showing a few 18C / 19C max day time temperatures. My palms are in all pots and are still throwing out new fronds, even as we head to November. I have a decent sized trachycarpus fortunei which I'm not too concerned about, given that there are a number in my immediate area that seem to cope with the worst of our winter weather (however, they are larger and planted in the ground). I also have a Butia Odorata, 2 CIDPs and a jubaea chilensis, all of which are relatively young. My concern is not so much the risk …

Licuala grandis turning yellow
by Hannah- 2 replies
- 472 views
Please help me to figure out what is wrong with my licuala grandis palm 😭 I’ve purchased this in July. At the beginning the tips were yellowing so I thought there should be something with watering. I water this with distilled water since then. It’s in front of an eastern window and get indirect light. Also, I placed a humidifier near that (not very close though) Recently I noticed that it’s becoming yellow/brown everywhere. I started treating it with neem oil (cause I suspect spider mites) but it’s just getting worse. Please help me to recover this beauty that came along all the way from FL to Southern CA 😭

Hi everyone, Since I'm still a beginner, I need your help. I want to repot these palms, properly identify them, which pot size should I chose for each of them, which soil mix should I use, etc. (the beer is standard 330ml just to get the real size of the palm, i will drink it later) 1. Howea forsteriana (Kentia palm) - I'm 99% positive about this 2. Phoenix canariensis or Phoenix dactylifera - Date palm? 3. Cycas revoluta or other Cycas? Except the Kentia which looks healthy, the other two have some yellow/brown leaves. Should I cut any of them? About the soil mix, will the same mix soil be ok for all three of …

I’ve read on this forum that potting soil for palms needs to drain well and have adequate aeration via not using easily compacted materials and not using materials with small particle size (which usually compact easily anyway). The main reasons are that poor aeration and drainage cause root rot and prevent nutrient uptake. I was wondering if anyone knows if anaerobic decomposition of organic material (e.g. peat moss, coco coir, compost) contributes to poorly draining soil being suboptimal for potted palms (perhaps due to decreasing ph or pathogenic microbes?). I’m curious because I’ve seen many species of palms growing in volcanic clay here on Guam and have potted many se…

Dypsis lutescens weird colored leaf?

Hi! My Dypsis lutescens is doing great, she's sprouting new leaves everyday and is growing like crazy. I repotted it in August to a bigger pot with slow release fertilizer (soil mix including lechuza pon) and she was doing great, but today I spotted this in one of the leaves. It's only one. I can't see any other issues apart from a little sunburn in a couple of them. What do you think this could be?

Potting soil
by Enar- 4 replies
- 403 views
Hello I mix my own soil for palms and I’ve experimented with many different ways. I’ve always had trouble with fertilizing my plants. I’ve never been very good at it. My question is how much fertilizer should I add to my custom soil mix I usually do coconut coir base which is ph neutral and vermiculite and perlite mixed together. I have Jobes organic granular palm fertilizer which contains some of the essentials like NPK + magnesium and calcium. But the directions are not very friendly towards people who mix soil from scratch and my palms look green but they seem to stay fairly small. Anyone had any experience?
