Hydriastele beguinii as a houseplant?
by piping plovers- 1 follower

Hello, I’ve been growing these seedlings for 6 months now. Am not sure if they make good houseplants and am curious if anyone has any experience with them. In September, I had them very close to plant lights and I think it burned/bronzed the foliage; I moved them shortly afterwards. Do they prefer lower light? Are they best treated as shade loving understory-type palms as juveniles? I read that high nitrogen fertilizer should be avoided with them. Perhaps that caused the burning? I fertilize weakly, every other watering as I do with the nearby indoor palms: J. Magnificas, verschaffeltia splendida. They are in well draining soil and am careful not to overwater…

Leaf rotting (bacterial, fungal or other?)
by Inspire91- 1 follower
- 0 replies
- 12 views
Hello everyone! To be upfront I am very new to keeping palms and so it’s safe to assume I know zero about issues like these 😅 Whatever this is, it happens really quickly. The dark rotting color takes over the leaf in a matter of days. In some cases where I catch it early enough I chop that part off and that may or may not save it. It sometimes just keeps going down the leaf till it’s taken the whole thing. My guesses are it’s either edema from overwatering, fungal or bacterial. Here is some info on their location and care: 1. I douse them with daconil once a month. The whole plant, leaves and stalk. 2. I don’t think that I over water, I’m very mindful to…

Mississippi Squad 1 2 3

I guess it's time for an update. I lost my job in January, lost my car, lost my apartment. Depression hit me really hard. Really hard. Not going into details, but if a friend of mine didn't happen to catch a layover in Texas, I wouldn't be here. He rented me a U-Haul to help me get back to my family's house in Mississippi. I wasn't in the greatest mindset, and I left most of my palms and plants in the apartment. I brought my spindle, C. Plumosa, my L. Weddellaniums, a couple snake plants, a Mangave, and my BxLyto. Everything else was left in the apartment and donated to the staff. They must be happy, because they didn't charge me for breaking the lease or not …

The squirrels have been wreaking havoc on my potted palms this spring. I'm not sure why they're so attracted to them, but they love digging holes in the pots and tearing up my palms' roots. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, did you come up with a good way to deter them? So far I've tried trapping them or popping them with airsoft guns when I catch them in the act. All to no avail, though.

Container Foxtail Palm Growth Speed?

I’ve had this foxtail since last summer and has since rooted very well in the container and is now beginning to grow rapidly! Just opened a new frond and already has a new spear and great stem extension! How tall can these get in containers and how fast will it get to say 4 feet of trunk or so? When should I repot this? This summer or next?

Seedlings turning super light green (almost gray)?
by OriolesRock100- 1 follower

I have seedlings of various palm species (sabal palmetto, washingtonias (prob all hybrids but supposedly were some of each), and a phoenix canriensis) all of which I germinated inside and grew to about their current size. I then moved them outside a week or two ago since it has been getting quite warm outside, highs in the 70s and lows in the 50-60s, although it did rain a couple days in a row. Then (most of) my seedlings starting lightening to this grayish, dull light green color, and the strap leaves are curling up a bit (I know this is a sign of stress from the plant but can’t determine specific cause). The only one that doesn’t seem to be doing this is the canariensis…

My house plant needs help

Hi Everyone, I have had this plant since 2018, it has lived in other countries fine and although I am in Barcelona over a year now, but I don’t think it likes its spot here. The plant’s been always happy but recently the leaves are drying quickly and the soil has white damp looking stuff on it. I am not sure what this plant is called and any help to make it look happy again is gratefully appreciated. Thanks

Is this pot too small for this bottle palm?
by adrock0211- 1 follower

I could get a slightly bigger pot, but the space wouldn't even be appropriate for too much bigger. I'm wondering how this bottle palm will do in that tight of a pot. Perhaps it would get rootbound very quickly? Looking for some guidance. Thanks.

I’m worried that this could spread irreversibly. My second theory is maybe it needs fertilization? can anyone help diagnose and what steps to take to correct? IMG_8161.dng IMG_8162.dng IMG_8163.dng IMG_8164.dng

What’s going on with my Bismarck Palm?
by Juanaramirez- 7 replies
- 245 views
Does anyone have any idea what’s going on with my palm? Does it need more water, soil, fertilizer? New position? It gets about 6 hours of sun. I noticed the middle branch coming out is turning brown and yellow, while the new one is greenish see first three pics :(. The soil is moist and wet and It takes about 7-10 days to dry out. It’s been in this pot for years now so I’m not sure what’s going on. I’m watering once a week and it gets a little drizzle from the rain but not a lot since is protected. There has been some wind in LA so it’s getting a little beat. It has two walls behind it. The plant is on the southeast corner with a wall on the south and…

But until then i will post updates on the spring/summer growth of this palm. Wish me luck!

Are these seeds still good for anything?
by qwertz- 3 replies

At the end of October last year, I bought and sowed 3 Christmas palm seeds and one bottle palm seed. So far nothing has sprouted. Today I took the seeds out of the pots and took a closer look at them. The first three photos are photos of bottle palm seed. Is it my imagination or did something try to grow near the top end but it withered and became woody? In the third photo you can see that a hole at the bottom of the seed is partially unsealed and a gap has formed. In the fourth photo is a Christmas palm seed. At the top I noticed a characteristic formation. The Christmas palm seed in the fifth photo looks at the top different than the seed in the fourt…

19yo Potted Coconut

I brought my coconut outside for its annual shower! It gets dusty indoors here in Phoenix, AZ. This is my pride and joy. This palm is where my screen name comes from. I bought it from Home Depot in the summer of 2000. It's been moved around the valley from house to apartment back to house a total of 7 times. It gets so neglected I really have no idea what's keeping it alive. It's never been fertilized with anything but dirty aquarium water. I only started doing that in the past 4 years. It's never been repotted. I just fill in the top with new soil when it gets low. It sat in a dark apartment for a few years. It's almost always parked under an AC vent. It currently sits …
