Fertilizer for Pots
by Ben in Norcal- 28 replies
- 2.8k views
I know there have been a lot of threads on fert, but wondering what people use for slow release when they have a lot of pots? Looking for more cost-effective solutions than Osmocote and the like, as long as they work well! Something I can buy in bulk, 50 lb bags ideally, that works well and is cost effective. Appreciate any thoughts - my container ranch is large, so looking to minimize expense if possible!

Fertilizer in pots outside
by Palmfarmer- 6 replies
- 402 views
I am wondering what you guys use as fertilizer and the frequenzy. Information on the potting mix would be great as well. Currently I have these fertilizers at hand. Which would be best for a potted palm with a medium without any nutrition. Liquids: Fish Emulsion 5-1-1 Liquid kelp Solids: Triple 17 Gaia green 4-4-4 organic Fish meal Bloodmeal Bonemeal Kelp Alfalfa

Fertilizer Recs?

Any fertilizer suggestions for a semi-novice that tends to struggle with appropriate measurements?!? I worry about not using enough but then also overdoing it! Are the spikes any good? I just moved to south Florida and have really taken advantage of it with my palm collection, but am limited to having them in pots for the foreseeable future. Any (affordable and easy to find) recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Fertilizers for coir (coconut substrate)
by David_Sweden- 1 follower
- 4 replies
- 230 views
Hi. I would like to hear about your experiences and opinions about fertilizers for coir. My go-to fertilizer if not coir is one that exists only in my country (Sweden), called "Blomstra", it is liquid, one component, developed by the Swedish agricultural university in 1950, and the guy I know of responsible for developing it (Tom Ericsson) has recommended to use it every watering (half dose) and that principle seems spread among other believable persons, like the American Orchid Society. But you should then know Sweden is full of peat and all potting soil has >90% peat, it is understood, persons like me who try coir are weird, and nobody uses bark at all ever. …

Fertilizing soilless palms
by JohnAndSancho- 5 replies
- 478 views
Dumb newbie question. I have a couple palms in soilless potting media, the turface/bark/leca. Can I add slow release palm food IE Carl Pool or regular fertilizer to this, or am I limited to just liquid? I kinda did the whole crazy newbie thing last year and bought one of everything.

Filibusta bend
by Philly J- 1 follower

Grew from seed straight as an arrow. Got the bend over the last four latest newest fronds. The third pic the newest spear has segments that are actually curling in the opposite direction from how every other frond on every other washy I have ever grown. Even though the previous three fronds in time made the palm bend, they at least had their segments fanned out in the correct direction. What the hell is going on?

Filibusta Yellow Spots

I've already googled this but I'm still unsure if it's some sort fungus problem and I've already gave them potassium so I'm not really sure why these yellow spots are appearing still, and what sucks is a lot of the newer leaves have acquired these yellow dots and even the new ones that are coming up so I'm confused also the water on the leaves in some of the pictures is from morning dew.

Yep, water pipe! I was told years ago that clear pots are not desirable, some plants are fussier than others. Not quite sure how I will do the transplant, very carefully I guess.

Finally Phoenix Roebelenii
by ZPalms- 2 replies
- 342 views
Finally after 5 months of watering this pot every other day, I finally have 2 sprouts out of 52 and the others must not be far behind! I'm excited to finally see them after so long I'm gonna update their growth and progress here overtime. I do have a question though, when should I start to bring these seedlings in since it's fall now and it's gonna get chilly eventually, Should they be fine as long as it doesn't reach 30F right? or maybe mid 40s since their so tiny?

Fire Ants in pots
by JohnAndSancho- 1 reply
- 146 views
I know it's December, but come spring I'll have tons of little babies to pot up and put outside. Fire ants are apparently a huge issue here, I've already had a B. Alfreidii turn into an ant bed after a heavy rain a few months ago. Would it be detrimental to palms to mix fire ant poison into the soil when potting up?

First attempt at Cocos nucifera bonsai
by PsyPalm- 3 replies
- 728 views
About a week ago I picked up a small cocos nucifera from a local plant shop here in Seattle. Last night (after some deliberation and a whiskey or two) I decided to try and turn it into a bonsai piece. This is my first ever attempt at bonsai as well as my first time growing cocos nucifera so I'm prepared for disaster lol. I just wanted to share some pics of the process with you guys and see what you think My thinking is over the next few months the roots will grow down into the media of the bonsai pot, so when I remove the upper plastic sleeve I'll be able to remove the lava rock from underneath the coconut and have it be elevated above the soil on it's roots like…

First indoor season lighting woes
by Ricanstructed- 7 replies
- 564 views
Hi friends, Could use some help in selecting some more supplemental lighting for my girls here whose lower leaves are clearly not receiving enough light. What's in the lamps now are GE Lighting Grow Light PAR38 Light Bulb, Full Spectrum, 32-Watts. I'm thinking I need to add 2 spotlights (from above) on either side for both and am considering: https://greenlightdepot.com/products/led-ufo-high-bay-150w-hook-mount-tempered-glass-ul-dlc There are quite a few options on that site and I'm very sorry to ask for so much effort from you more seasoned folk to take a look at what I'm considering, but if you are so inclined I'd be very grateful (and so would my poor palma…

First Inflorescence of C.cataractarum in my Office!
by Funkthulhu- 4 replies
- 1.2k views
Just wanted to post some pictures of my Cham. cat. because it has never bloomed before and this is the largest palm I've ever had do so. (so far) One popped last week, the other was open when I came in to work on Monday. Is there a way I can better promote pollination? I've kinda "simulated wind" with enough shaking to make them both dust each other up. Any other suggestions?

I've finally ordered an indoor palm I've always wanted called Licuala grandis, does anyone have any tips on growing this one correctly? Potting media? Lighting? Humidity? I can put it in my sunny bathroom with high humidity if it will be happy in there. Not a ton of growing info I could find. Thank you

First new palm from a new local nursery
by Rickybobby- 9 replies
- 688 views
Hey everyone found about this new local nursery. Massive commercial greenhouse /nursery. Like everyone up here they get tractor trailer shipments of pre ordered palms and extras and keep them until it warms up enough. Anyway these guys care deeply and I should have taken a photo of the palm section. Just awesome. 14 foot coconuts to 3 gallon anything. Same place I posted the flowering roebellini. So my first palm for the pool this year is this nice 7 gallon with 3 adonidias. I’m hoping I don’t over water this one and keep it for a few years !

First Palm Tree, Need Advice 1 2

So I bought my very first sabal palmetto and it's about 3 years old, I'll be growing it inside for the majority of the time so it can get a bit bigger so no animals outside will snack on it and nobody runs over it with four-wheelers, I do need tips because I'm a bit lost so for starters I don't know if the pot I put it in was a good choice because its a very big pot and I only put it in a big pot because I thought about future proofing so it wouldn't need to be repotted for a long time but it seems to take a very long time for the water to dry out secondly I think I made a mistake buying miracle grow succulent and palm soil because it has terrible aeration so I'm not sure…
