Indoor Fan Palm Help!
by PalmJourney- 1 follower

Hello! I’m new to this forum and fairly new to indoor palm care. I recently acquired a fan palm in desperate need of help and in the interest of learning more about palms, took it in. I’m noticing some new spears coming in full crispy and brown (will attach picture), with one potentially being healthy. I guess my questions would be: are they lost causes? Will they fully emerge? What do you think the issue could be? What would next steps be to help save it? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated! I have it getting some mid indirect lighting, with a grow light to supplement the rest. I also have a humidifier on it and I try to give it a thoro…

I've been reading how sensitive King Palms roots are. Yesterday I decided to do my own experiment and divided my Cunningham I purchased on discount. Let's see if they survive. 🤔🥴

Hello, My name is Levi and I live in Indiana/USA. I have an obsession with palm trees and tropical climates. But I have always dreamed of growing a palm tree in a glass enclosed area and trying to simulate that it’s in a tropical climate. Some pictures will be provided on how would love for it to look with the necessary tools to create a climate controlled biome. I’m really just trying to figure out how exactly I would be able to do this.

Areca catechu ‘dwarf’ help!!

Help me out, please. I’m a frustrated northeast Florida palm enthusiast who would rather be living in zone 10B rather than 9B when it comes to Palms. For a few years, I have been successfully growing Areca catechu ‘dwarf’ in containers. Last year I lost one palm and it started the same way as this palm which you can see in the pictures. My concern is, it seems to be coming from the crown. Can anybody help me with diagnosis. Much appreciated! Thank you.

How can I increase transpiration?
by Talula- 1 reply
- 108 views
I recently got 3 trachycarpus fortunei that are potted in 24" pots. I am conducting a scientific experiment to try and assess how much water they transpire but thus far it has been significantly less than I hypothesized. I am wondering if it is because they are in pots, or because of the type of soil they are in which is the same soil they came from the nursery in. I am wondering if I should repot them with a certain soil or ratio? or if I should fertilize them, if so with what kind? I am watering them once a week and they seem to be pretty healthy so I don't think disease is the issue, but maybe they are root bound? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just bought my first Licuala Grandis baby and I am nervous not to kill it, would appreciate any help. I have a bad track record with palms so far, this one is my dream plant for years but its very rare here, i've been hunting for one for 2 years now. It came in a very dense heavy clay substrate and it has 2 plants, also another 2 that were rotted, just roots remaining but the roots were still alive, I put them away in a moss container maybe they'll regrow. I just transferred the 2 healrhy plants in a mix of leca (6-12mm), vermiculite (2-6mm), zeolite (4-6mm), charcoal (4-6mm) and bark, hydrated it well in filtered water with silica force stress reducer a…

washingtonia robusta Outside for the first time
by jazz8751- 7 replies

Hi all ! My first post in the group. I’ve been growing palms from seeds for the fun of it and I’m to the point of taking out my first baby outside for the summer. I’m in Canada and it is 17-25C during the day and never below 10C at night. It will get warmer in June-August. I took him out yesterday to get it acclimatized and I noticed the fan part was getting rocked in the wind and it was kinda bending too. So I took it back inside scared it will break. Is it ok ? Should I just let it go with nature and it will get stronger ? thanks all !

How? How do you distinguish?

Hey, I'm sorry for being that new guy but how do you tell? I figured out I do have a heavy hand when watering but how does everything turn yellow and looking burnt at same time? 2 Phoenix Robe's and a Areca turn. Overcast here for maybe 4 days I took my big one outside and that's where he's staying. 2 months now feeding crazy growth and everything I read has the same, basically same conclusion. I almost had an outburst and almost tossed them over, wasn't good. If anyone might could point me right I'd appreciate it. I mean all good and then I don't know. I do have 1 other question...What is a good preventive insecticide that you can buy in California? I found…

In a well-draining mix of FF Ocean Forest, coir, and pumice.

Nice old rhapis subtilis

An old container palm this on, it’s even still in the original soil mix of 23 years past. A rosebud farm original purchase way back. Tucked away in the corner of the greenhouse hardly ever getting a look. Poor old thing I might have to repot her and give her some TLC, she’s rewarded me for this many years time to give a little love back from the palm gods.

This one would have to one of my prized palms in the collection with only one, I still hesitate to plant it although iam pretty confident it will survive the cold. It’s just to rare for me at the moment, if it provides a few seeds I will plant it in the garden, although that’s what I should really do, is plant it in the ground to give it a better chance to set seeds. But one prize palm in the collection!

Help! My potted fan palm isn't doing well.

Hi all, I rescued this palm from a local thrift store about 6 weeks ago. It's my first palm. I repotted it. Each time it puts out a new frond it almost immediately turns brown and crispy. I water about once a week, whenever the soil/perlite mixture feels dry when I stick my finger in it. It's on my balcony, gets bright indirect light all day and direct sun from 4pm-6:30pm every day. We're in the UAE so it's hot, around 40 degrees Celsius every day. What can I do to help this palm thrive? Thanks for the help!

Keeping a wahingtonia filibusta pot bound to reduce trunk width?
by GeorgiaEnjoyer- 2 replies
- 158 views
I bought my brother a filibusta a month ago and suggested we plant it soon as it looks like the roots are becoming crowded. He wants to keep it in its container to keep the trunk width down, because he wants the tree to look more like a true robusta. Would keeping it pot bound work well to shrink trunk width?, and are there any problems that may pop up down the line if he chooses to go that way?

Palms in pots

I just bought two Florida Thatch palms on clearance at Lowe’s and they seem relatively healthy. I am leaving to go up north for the summer and was just going to leave them in their original pots until I come back and then put them in the ground so as they are not trying to establish themselves in the middle of the heat of the summer. Will they be OK in the original pot for five months?

Direct sunlight
by Rio1593- 3 replies
- 176 views
Is direct sunlight really that damaging to the leaves? It's around 20 degrees celsius where I am in UK, and my Kentia is near a south facing window. The reason I moved it closer to the window is because the spot it was in before today was too far from the window. I'm now just hoping the leaves don't scorch, and I'd imagine they'd only scorch if it was hotter weather (25 degrees celsius and above). Thoughts?

Hi, I have a Kentia Palm plant in a well draining pot, which is placed inside a decorative pot. I'm not entirely sure why, but it has been leaning for a really long time now and has some drooping leaves. I have done some Google research on the matter, and some people say it's just trying to reach the light...but then does this ever resolve itself and straighten back up to how it was when I first bought it? Can you guys tell me other reasons for why it could be leaning for this long period of time? It doesn't seem like an unhealthy plant, although there are some brown tips on many leaves, and some leaves are yellowing. There was one point around December 2024 whe…

Will My Windmill Survive?

- 160 views
I’ve had this windmill potted for 3 years and store it in a collapsible greenhouse over the winter. There’s usually no issues from season to season. This year, it LOOKED like it was doing well all winter until I uncovered them this spring. The palms looked dried/fried, yellowing, and folding inwards. There is new growth, but not much movement in the last month. No spear pull. Any suggestions as to what is happening ?

The forum heading said palms in pots or container ranch
by happypalms- 23 replies
- 468 views
The heading stated palms in pots does this qualify as enough palms in pots. Iam a hobby grower and collector of anything unusual, rare or just must have exotic plants and I do it simply because I love plants especially palms. Most of this stock will be planted on my property over time. That’s my grand plan for future generations.
