Started both of these from seed. The one on the left was from a standard Humilis and has longer leaflets. The one on the right was from a Vulcano and really seems to be exhibiting the traits of being one. We’ll see what it looks like in a few more years. What do you guys think?

Trachecarpus fortunei die off
by jplankfsu2015- 4 replies
- 254 views
I manage a wholesale nursery in northeast Texas. We grow several cold hardy palms, one of which is Trachecarpus fortunei. They seem to have a problem that I can't figure out. The frond individual leaves will start to curl up. It will then progress to browining of lower fronds and progress to the entire set of fronds. In the final stages, you can pull out the primary new frond and it smells like rotten flesh inside the trunk. I have grown this species in Floriday for many years and have only started experiencing this problem in Texas over the past several years. These plants have been grown from seed and currently are about 4 years old. Any help would be appreciated!

Alright I've got 20 Washies - they are 5 month old now and have about 4-5 leaves, live indoors with 5 hour of straight sun and 14 hours of LED. Zone 5. Some of them got yellow lower leaves. Ain't it too soon? And what if some of them got not 1 but 2 yellowing leaves? I make sure that their leaves don't touch the window glass but left them to my mom now and will get home in a month. I will be glad of any advice Also: A friend of mine wants to buy them for his bar in a couple of months when they grow up. His bar is quite dark - is it possible to predict how this palms trees will feel? Slowing down growth is ok, but maybe I can somehow prepare the seedlings for moving?…

Hi there! I'm new in the forum. I live in Málaga (Spain) and I'm the proud father of 2 coconut palms. They are placed in south-west facing balcony, and the orange one is 2 years old. The second one, much smaller, is only one, bought this past spring. Has well grow rate as well. They are the typical ones imported from Holland to grocery shops to Europe. The orange one started to pinnate this year, since the last year which I brought him home. They have been feeding palm fertilizer since the very early growing season, and I stop fertilizing them last week. As the temps start to decrease as well, they will be going indoors more or…

What would you buy?

My family wants to buy me a gift to help cheer me up and they know I love palms. I'm of course constantly looking on Etsy and various other sites at palms because watching palms grow is therapeutic. I've got plenty in my shopping cart on various sites, but out of a handful, what would you pick? I also, as always, bounce between scientific and common names. And want to see growth that won't take years. Plants can go outside and soak up sun intermittently even during winter here. It's not Canada,.but they'll bounce between outdoors and indoors for about 4 months. Tons of indoor and outdoor humidity and full sun vs plenty of grow bulbs. Red Latania (I have a cou…

Can I get more winter growth from bringing my Palms inside at night and using grow lights?
by Dwarf Fan- 12 replies
- 398 views
Now that the warm weather is fading in Texas and colder weather and less sunlight is approaching can I bring my potted Palms inside my garage and put them under a grow light at night to achieve faster growth and bigger Palms to put in ground come spring time? Will palms grow more vigorously under a 24 light period consisting of natural sun supplemented with a grow light? Or do Palms need a “dark” or “night” period of at least 6 hours or ? Last question for you guys that use grow lights on Palms indoors what type of lights are you using? Any that are better than others for Palms? Thanks, Dan

Palm “soil” for containers
by Maximum- 1 follower
- 18 replies
- 629 views
I know there’s a lot of “soil” mixtures that can work well for palms but I’m afraid of the super chunky and airy mixes and/or mixes that need pH or nutritional additives to get them in an acceptable range. I want to use either: Miracle Gro potting “soil” as a base. OR Jungle Growth potting “soil” as a base. What other items do I need to encourage draining and prevent “soil” compaction? I’d prefer to use perlite as a replacement for sand cause if it gets too heavy it’ll become difficult to manage the plants. All opinions are welcome! Give me the “gritty” details! (No pun intended). By the way it’d be great if there are general “soil” recipes…

Hello! I am an avid houseplant keeper and adore keeping indoor potted trees (ficus, bonsai, and fruit trees mainly), but I have never had a palm tree before. However, my coworker was at a greenhouse the other day and was offered several free houseplants, all in various stages of death. Some could be saved and others, unfortunately were too far gone. One of the plants given was a lovely Mexican Fan Palm (Washingtonia robusta) in a crumbling ceramic pot. My coworker brought all the plants to the office and I have been attempting at reviving each of them, but my palm knowledge is not very deep. I have been doing a bit of research and can't quite decide if it was …

Cat Palms Not Healthy

Looking for some advice on these CAT palms in Fort Myers Florida. They are in self draining pots and have not been manually watered since the rainy season. I fear that they are not getting enough water as they have drain holes, I placed rock at the bottom of these and there really isn't a ton of space for dirt. Although there is a water basin at the bottom that holds spare water. They get direct afternoon sun, maybe 4-5 hours. They also took on some salt water during H.IAN last year. I am finally getting around to fixing my sprinkler system so they can be watered on a schedule. I am thinking I should over water and see how it goes... The less burnt-looking one …
