I'm looking for some unusual ideas for an inside Palm. There won't be a huge amount of natural light but enough to make do. I already have the following indoors: Majesty Coconut Kentia Cat Areca Any other ideas on what I could plant indoors? I might add some UV lights to make it possible. I'm looking for something you wouldn't normally see grown indoors. Thoughts?

A couple of surprises here in the Atlanta area, which became a barren wasteland after 2014. Big Orange trucked in a bunch of out-of-zone palms for us. Here are a couple at $80 each --> Question: Do y'all resize photos prior to posting here? I try to reduce to an 800x600 size for loading on devices.

Cycad revoluta new fronds!

Hello my fellow palm lovers! It’s been quite a while and I’m exited to be back. I’ve been very busy over the summer with my family, so all the traveling and everything is finally over. Anyways, after a while new fronds on my sago “palm”, ( I hate calling it a palm, because it’s now) has finally started developing. And they are looking nice. Sadly my date palms died so I’m growing new ones. Also if any of you care I’ve made a yt channel. It’s @jakesplants on YouTube. Looking forward to more post's from me

Dying indoor Lady Palm

This palm has been struggling inside for over a year now. I have new African violet potting mix for it but I read you shouldn’t repot if the plant is in distress. I was away for two weeks and I don’t think my house sitter took proper care of it. I’ve been trying to rehab it since. It has plenty of indirect sunlight and water (not too much). I mist it, I clean off its leaves, I tried 9-8-7 fertilizer on its “sibling” and it did not make it (same age, same nursery, same size). I live in 9B and I’m thinking about planting it outside to save it. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

sick trachycarpus fortunei?

Hello, i am new here to this forum and wanted to come on here to see if i could get some help on figuring out what could be stressing out my trachycarpus fortunei (windmill palm). I got it around 2014 shipped from Florida to Colorado. it’s about 7 years old and it’s been in a container its entire life, totaling 3 total pots up to this point. I’ve been wondering if that could be an issue as it’s been at least 2 or so years since i’ve repotted the palm. Aside from that i’ve always watered regularly and have tried to keep a good schedule. I’ve missed a few times here and there over the years and haven’t been 100% consistent (i mean who is) but i try not to let it dry o…

Short answer is NO I had an alocasia potted in a farmers pot sitting in a decorative pot. It suffered a severe spider mite infestation so I elected to simply remove the alocasia from the pot and place it out doors. I then moved my kentia palm (also in a farmers pot) into the same decorative pot. Just sitting there. And guess what. Kentia palm now has spider mites. make sure you absolutely sanitize any pot your use if it suffered from an infestation

Hi! I have kentia and areca palms in pots. I have already split the areca palms last year when I bought them, and the kentia palms are a recent purchase that I haven’t repotted yet. The arecas probably more than doubled in size from when I got them. I had previously tried to grow areca and kentia palms from seeds, but I had no success. The areca palms were cheap (3.3 EUR for 1x13 cm pot with a cluster of ~12 plants 30 cm tall), the kentias were more expensive (20 EUR for 19 cm pot with a cluster of ~7 plants 80 cm tall). I understand that these plants can grow into fairly large trees that aren’t suitable for apartments, but what are my best options for keeping t…

trachycarpus fortunei to deep?

I bought this trachy from a nursery a couple weeks ago and I just looked at the trunk. and I'm unsure, but I feel like it was planted too deep in this pot? I just want a second opinion if it's supposed to be this deep because there are roots growing higher than the bottom of it, so I'm confused. I tried to take the best photos and video I could, but if I need to take more I can IMG_2766.mp4

Does anyone have any idea why my foxtail is opening the new fronds before they even come out of the shaft? It used to send up spears that would open but now it seems ..... stuck? It is growing in a pot and I would love to be able to put it in the ground, but that's not possible until I move. Any suggestions?

How can I protect my young 1 - 2 year old palm trees from the upcoming winter?

How can I protect my young 1 - 2 year old palm trees from the upcoming winter? I have about 100 hundred small ones (a mixture of trachycarpus fortunei, washingtonia filifera/robusta) that I germinated from seed. At the moment they all have a couple of small leaves and the washingtonias are just starting to get a very small green trunk. They were planted in 500ml plastic bottles for about a year that I got from a recycling centre for free and I got most of the dirt from a hole I dug close to my apartment. They have been inside for about 2 years with constant 20degree heat. The issue I've got now is they are too big to stay inside and I'm not sure if they could withsta…

Root sensitivity?
by JohnAndSancho- 12 replies
- 898 views
What you're looking at is a mass of roots that have pushed all the way through a "self watering"/bottom watering pot. This is my queen, my Washy and big Cat palm all look pretty similar. Obviously I'm gonna have to repot these in spring - how sensitive are the roots in these 3 species? I'm gonna take my time and do my best not to hack them apart, but are any of these particularly sensitive in their roots?

Rhapis Palm needs help!!
by aieshap- 4 replies
- 401 views
Hey, so my palm isn't doing so well. She was repotted, into a pot the next size up from what she's in now (probably too big) and I used the indoor Potting mix I had left over. It stayed pretty moist down the bottom and she started to get a little droopy. So I added perlite and some orchid bark (guy at the nursery said it "can't do any harm"?) And repotted back to the pot it's in now. Now she's looking like she's really in need of some help. What can I do to get her back up again?? I asked the guy at the nursery for loamy Soil and he said it's usually only if they're in the ground, not in pots? Any advice is appreciated, thanks

Varigated Raphis

I've had these for a few years and I thought I'd share them. I just don't know what to do with them, but at least they are happy! Maybe I should buy some fancy pots and bring them indoors. I bought these several years ago from a Chinese couple that were tenants to an empty house in Danville, CA. They had these listed on Ebay and when I saw their location- about 30 minutes away- I offered to pick them up and they accepted. They had several of these. I'm happy I stumbled on the offering. These have been just chilling in their pots for years in the shade. There's sprinklers, so thats the steady water they get. This is supposed to be a lawn area in my yard,…
