Gary's Top Pot for Palm trees?
by Palmfarmer- 0 replies
- 321 views
Thought I try to put some desert palms in this mix. Recipe is: 35% peat 30% Pumice 20% Perlite 10% Sand 5% charcoal Can I switch out the charcoal for Biochar? Can I use Coco coir instead of peat? Seeing this has no nutrients in it what would you guys recommend I fertilize with? Will liquid feeds do fine? I was thinking fish emulsion + kelp This is for a Date palm/Phoenix Datilfera I plan to put in a really big pot.

How come wood is so good in potting mixes for palms?
by Palmfarmer- 2 replies
- 330 views
bananajssi grows his seedlings in woodchips and black gold. Around 70% wood. I tried this mix and it did very well compared to the others in compost, perlite and coco despite fertilizing them. What I don't understand is many people claim wood will lock up nitrogen when mixed into soil for some time. So why does this mix work work?

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?

Growing Chambeyronia macrocarpa in pots?

These seem like big palms. Would they grow for any length of time potted? They’re available at Flora Grubb in San Francisco, kind of pricey so would not want to try this if they’ll be stunted/look badly. They are beautiful palms, wish I had more space to put one (or several) in the ground, but I do not. Bryan

I have an infestation of Springtails in my potted soil. I know soap can kill Springtails. I have read not to use Dawn dish soap, but I have also read that you can. I know about insecticidal soap, but 10.00 for a small container is not practical. Can anyone recommend or give guidance on a soap I can use that is safe for the palms but kills Springtails?

Hello. I‘m busy repotting my very first Canary island date palms. I’ve potted the two smaller palms already (approx 1m tall) but have only just read about untangling the root ball. I have two more slightly larger palms to pot so advice appreciated on whether to untangle and also how much of the existing compost to remove from the rootball. Thank you!

What to expect for Trachycarpus Fortunei growth in pot
by killer_chili- 1 follower

I have a glorious and fast growing Trachycarpus fortunei, currently in good growing conditions. My question is: how tall/how big is this tree going to continue to grow if it is roughly in a pot of 5.5 gallons (~21 L) of soil? i understand to replant the palm when it is root-bound, however I’m wondering this current pot is going to yield a big tree or if it’s nearly maxed out on growing height in the current pot. Pot Dimensions: Circumference: 42 inches (106 cm) height/depth of soil: 9.5 inches (24 cm)

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…

Phoenix Dactylifera (in troubles?)
by LordHowe75- 1 follower

Hello everyone! I '98, I started my first Phoenix Dcatylifera from seed, and after 10 years I planted in a large container (70cm deep and 50 in diameter). I manteined 10 years more in the same pot, until year after year, (reaching the 20th year of life plant) the palm completely "escape" from the container because the deep roots pushed up the tree. Then was very dangerous from the moment the wind if strong may throw the palm out from the terrace. Then, with sadness I cutted. Now from 5 years I planted again another dactylifera, (cannot resist without palm hehe) in the same pot, but seems not so fast growing and roots are not pushing out the tree. Better …

Hi, I've germinated a wodyetia bifurcata (foxtail palm) one and half year ago, but i'ts on a pot, not too big but not too small and the soil is not very good it contains too much moist in the soil, and i'm worried because I don't want it to get root rot. Should I put it on a bigger pot with a more sandy soil with some compost and better drainage? On the winter I have the palm on a little glass greenhouse. I would appreciate a lot your replies.

Hello everyone, my potted majesty palm has just opened a new frond ever since I bought it. The frond seems to be slightly smaller than the ones that are currently on the palm. It is currently in a 30 gallon pot. Could the pot size be the issue or is it not enough fertilizer? Thanks!!

Hi all, these are my Washingtonia seedlings sprouted 50 days ago. I've got dozens of them and Phoenix D. They were doing fine, but now I see some white mold/fungus/mealybugs. Should I treat it or is it fine and just some seedling part? This white pieces are reaaaly small. For the first time I noticed them on a date and scraped them off with a metal ruler. Now this date has been clean for a week, but on many other seedlings I see white dots. Seeds were cleaned with H2O2 at the beginning, no mold mentioned while germinating. These seedling get 1 hour sunglight a day. Some of them have slowed down a lot in the last week (it was 5 millimeters a day, it became 1-2), but…

Been awhile since I posted an updated photo on this palm. Night time temperatures have finally been consistently in the 60 degrees F. range and the large overhead shade trees filled out entirely to provide filtered sunlight for this houseplant; time to move it outdoors for its summer vacation. Gusty winds always a concern though. Been holding off putting my Joey palm outdoors.

Areca Vestiaria Decline
by KingBob- 4 replies
- 325 views
I have a small Areca Vestiaria on my front patio that I've had more than 2 years and it had been doing fine. Beginning a couple months ago, it has been in a steady decline as you can see in the photo. Am I overwatering it, underwatering it, too much sun? We did not have a freeze this past winter where I live (perhaps some mid-30's a couple times). Any thoughts and recommendations? Thanks!
