Triple adonidia potting up question
by kimgerlach1- 1 follower

Hello all, I just ordered two triple trunk adonidias. I saw that they are 3 ft tall and was hopeful that they were being shipped having already been potted up. But I saw in the description that they are being shipped bare root. I have seen many images of triple trunk ones potted up where the trunks kind of bow out. I love that look. I asked the seller how to pot them up in order to get that effect. He told me that it doesn't matter. He was quite rude about me asking the question BTW, but whatever... I decided to Google the question and saw that a member on this forum named (I think) "Not a TA" posted about out how to plant seeds together t…

Cheap Drip Tray Idea
by JohnAndSancho- 4 replies
- 137 views
Just bouncing an idea. Since most of my stuff is on a table in a corner, it's inevitable that I make messes when I'm watering. I was thinking of just buying a few aluminum baking pans to place all of the pots in. Right now I'm watering on a rotation since I have a lot more pots than saucers, and a couple bigger plants have to go to the sink or bathtub to drain. I'd add some Mosquito Bits and some kind of rock, but it seems like the biggest drawback would be aesthetics. I thought about the possibility of reflecting light but I honestly think that'd be negligible with just LED lights.

I live in southern New Jersey and would like to know what are the best Palm options for large containers in South Jersey. I would like to place 3-4 in XL containers around my pool for the summer. Our summer months of July and August can get very hot and humid with temps in the mid 90's. My pool deck is full sun. I have some growing knowledge but nothing in regards to Palms so any growing advice in regards to daily moisture and feeding would be very helpful. Thank you.

Dumb LED Lighting Question
by JohnAndSancho- 0 replies
- 123 views
So I bought these shelves, it's a 5 tier 6ft wire rack and I figured it'd be a good spot to put a bunch of 4-6" pots. Also bought what's basically lamp cords with switches for some LED grow bulbs, GE BR30s I bought during COVID. Anyway, my question. What distance would constitute "full sun?" Like the bulb 6" overhead? 12"? I don't wanna cook anything.

Sabal Causiarum shriving for water?
by ZPalms- 1 follower
- 1 reply
- 5k views
I went out and saw that my Sabal Causiarum was closing up. Is this a water issue, or is it ready to be repotted or planted in the ground? I'm worried because every time I've had a palm start to close up like this, it meant death. Will they reopen? I've dunked them into a bowl of water to hydrate because it has been a while since I last watered them, but they've never done this before. I suppose with the weather warming up, they may be needing more water?

Hello, I am growing a Sabal palmetto in a pot indoors year round and would like some tips on how to take care of it. It’s my first time growing a Sabal palm indoors! Does anyone have any experience on maintaining a Sabal palm indoors? I’d like to hear some input and share some photos of your Sabal palmetto growing in an indoor environment. What does the temperature range have to be and humidity? I know Sabal palms like a lot of heat and humidity. I am in Central Jersey about a zone 6b. The palmetto palm stays by an east facing window and receives bright direct light during the morning and indirect light during the afternoon. The indoor temp is usually in the low to m…

Potted Foxtail near Van BC
by Ivan604- 1 reply
- 149 views
Yeah so i was cruising around metro van (Delta) earlier today looking at different nurseries to see if there were any palm varieties, and to my surprise I saw a Foxtail Palm sitting near the entrance of a Canadian Tire. Not the first place I would have expected it at. Was thinking of getting it in the near future but I still have to look into the care and space of having it in my yard. Is $200 a good deal for this palm, any takes? 20240310_124009[1].heic 20240310_124015[1].heic 20240310_124026[1].heic

Went on a plant buying binge today. Found this ~2 or 3 gal for $70. I'd like to pull a few out and use as glorified annuals in ground. What do you think the odds of survival are? I don't know how root sensitive they are. Can't find anything from a quick Google search. I figure I'll soak the rootball and just try to coax a few out.

A few more palms to be planted when ready

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

Hedyscepe Canterburyana as a Houseplant!
by ZPalms- 1 follower
- 9 replies
- 419 views
Back in September, I was looking for a palm that would work best as a houseplant, and on September 25, 2023, @Darold Petty messaged me asking if I would like to experiment with a Hedyscepe as a houseplant. And of course, I said yes because that would make such a unique and fun experiment, and I'm really grateful to have a chance to try one of these. Not too long after, it arrived, and I was able to pop it into a clear plastic cup so I could see the roots develop, which Darold already had sprouted when he sent it to me with a tiny sprout on it. I didn't change anything for this palm, and I didn't give it any special lighting other than what it gets from the window. Th…

This palms seems to grow in a very sandy soil when I look at habitat pictures of this dwarf Syagrus. Is it a dificult plant needing special soil requirements? I have bought a small seedling and right now it is growing in a good draining organic rich soil. My climate is too cold to grow this palm outside so it will have to spend it's life in a pot. For the first few years I will give it some extra love in winter with a grow light during the darkest months untill it is a little more grown up. Any information about growing this species in pots is welcome. Soil requirements, water, light and temperatures requirements, etc.....

I would not believe it if I didn’t see it myself. Did you know you can buy rare palm trees online through Walmart! That’s right ! just go online to their website and type in palm trees. Some of the prices are way to expensive but it doesn’t hurt to look 👀. Right! There was a few that weren’t to bad of a price.

Subject: Phoenix roebelenii. Potted. Multi (4) palms in a 15 gallon pot. Over wintered in a well light unheated garage. Temps never below 48°F (9°C). Watered sparingly. during the cooler months Moved outside during the warmer parts of the day. Lives outdoors during the suitable months. The affected parts of the petioles develop this issue, choking off the remainder of the fronds. This is the third frond in 3 days. I have removed them below the affected areas and treated with H₂O₂.

Help with indoor ruffled fan palms

I’m struggling with my first two ruffles fan palms. One is beyond saving it’s deteriorated to almost dead in a week. I’ve asked for advice at local plant shop and they gave me a couple things to try. The other one now has green veins showing so I’m worried it has what the other one has. I’m not an experienced plant person so I’d appreciate any advice on how to save the second one because they are wonderful. Thank you so much!
