Potted successes - so far…

Livistonia chinensis - two in 14” pots, one in the ground. They need root space. I have one in the ground WAS a beautiful potted houseplant - okay for two years. However, it started to fail indoors. It’s a very easy plant so I know that my inside light and environment won’t cut it. It is now quite happy in the ground and growing well. SO easy that I am growing 2 more as potted ones but Outside plants. So far so good, even over the Christmas freeze - with No protection! I was really surprised. Dypsis decaryi - I potted this tree in order to maintain its size to a moderate height. Ive had it in this 24” pot for going on 3 years. It has become a perennial (see my…

Surgery on a coconut

Let me just say that I am now officially a “palm freak”. I came back from a trip to SW Florida. (Great trip! Got lots of palm seeds and a few coconuts). I did my research and was ready to sprout this coconut, unfortunately my impatient side kicked in and I tried sawing away some of the outer husk even though I should have let the husk dry out in the sun. The coconut was closer to the surface than I thought and ended up cutting it real bad and it lost about 1/3 of its fluid. Surely it was a goner! But then a crazy idea came to mind. And so, to the best of my ability, I cleaned the area around the cut to ensure that no debris got inside the coconut and dabbed the a…

Liptstick Palm issues

My large lipstick palm doesn’t look healthy. It may have been too much direct sunlight but I also noticed some small spots under the leaves. Seems like tiny black lines in the grooves. Any idea what this is or if it’s bad for the palm?

What is it?

Noticed this palm in a hotel. Definitely not the typical Kentia or Majesty. I'm not as well versed as many here so I thought I'd throw it to you all... The petiole is rather golden/yellowish.

Good Afternoon Friends, I just had a quick question: The DC area is experiencing temperatures of 50-60 F during the day but it dips down to near below freezing at night 34-43F. Is it okay if I leave my potted robustas and trachys outside at night, they are all about 10 months old? I have been leaving them outside but taking them in at night.

Water Quality Studies for Palms in Pots
by Frond-friend42- 1 reply

I picture Utah having very hard water. High carbonate in the soils you can see in concentric circles around here. Taking off from different tips I realized I needed water with a lower pH and read somewhere that Spring water is good for plants (?) It has "things in it" that plants love", I was told. So I've been buying Spring Water for my tropical palms, and then for my more harsh-environment (Cuba, desert) palms I've been using tap water. I also have been going to an "artesian well" where the water is free and filters through large sheets of rock. Seemed like a good natural source equivalent to spring water. The desert, tap water plants I also tend let dry out more t…

Majesty Palm Outdoors in Zone 8b Questions

I recently purchased a Majesty Palm from Lowe's and am planning to have it outside only during the spring and summer months here in Myrtle Beach. First off, I am not sure really where to put it. Some sources I see are saying that they like a lot of sunlight and others are saying that they like more shade, so I'm not really sure. I've got one area that I think could be a pretty good contender, I've attached pictures of this area. It is a south facing area with a very good bit of protection from wind. I'd say it gets no sun from sunrise to about 1 or 1:30 in the afternoon, but then it gets full sun from then on until sunset (it isn't on the south side of the house, but it i…

Should I be worried about root rot with this mox?
by Palmfarmer- 0 replies

Got some trachies. I put them in black gold type soil with some woodchips. I did this since I had one Trachy growing in that mix while the others in a fairly light and fast draining medium and the one with the black soil grew way faster. This mix drains fairly fast, but the soil stays moist very long. Allmost like growing in clay. Should I worry about root rot with this mix?

Hello all, I got my brand new lipstick palm around a month ago. Lots of new shoots coming up but two leaves have turned yellow/brown. Just a bit concerned. It’s outside during the day , and inside at night. ( Newcastle NSW ). Is there any special care advice that I should do at night ( Grow lamp?) It will be indoor all the time over winter and may have to get a grow lamp as a perfect spot might be hard to find in the house for light. appreciate any advice. Many thanks

Parlor Palm leaf damage

I have parlor palms at the office that were in good shape for 4+ years but suddenly are declining. I thought some of this could have been from sunlight damage, or insect damage, or perhaps a wrong soil formulation. Any ideas on what to do here to reverse the decline?

Desperate to save these seeds!
by VikkiP- 4 replies
- 1.2k views
Greetings. This is my first post here after a nice read of several posts. My parents were active IPS members and I inherited a bag of palm seeds including Tectiphiala ferox, Sabal maritiama, Arenga australasica, Actinorhytus calapparia, Dypsis lanceolata, and Coccothrinax argentta as well as some unlabeled seeds. I don't know how old these seeds are but they are certainly not "fresh". I want to try to start at least some of these seeds, knowing that I cannot grow them to maturity. I do, however, have a 35 year old Washingtonia that is essentially a bonsai growing here in Michigan, it's only 4 feet tall and summers outdoors/winters indoors. I also grow a few var…

Repotting Outdoor Dypsis Lutescens
by ewaforevah- 2 replies
- 637 views
I'm a newb, looking to this wonderful forum for advice. I picked up a bunch of 3gal and 7gal dypsis lutescens for outdoor privacy. Since it's in a concrete area, they will remain in a pot of some sort. Right now they're 4-5ft and I'll need them to reach the 6-8ft range. Do I need to repot them? I'm perfectly content leaving them in the black nursery pots if repotting isn't necessary. What are the potential issues if I do keep them in the original pots? If I do repot them, any tips, advice or good resources on how to do it? How tricky is it to do and not kill the palm? Thanks!
