My palms in pots

[Monòver]

I love the palms when it is growing in my garden, but before it goes to the garden i grow it in pots waitting for the best moment for plant it in the garden.

I don't have secrets to grow it. Only fast drainage and always water with fertilicer.

I will show us in the next post a few examples.

The first is my Chamaedorea wodsoniana. I bought it last July, 9 months ago. I don't have pictures from the how it was, but was a small palm in 12 centimeters pot. I plant it in a long 17 cm pot and today i change it in a 25 cm pot.

Thi is the pictures.

They grow very well for you, I struggle to keep them alive.

Yes, for me they are like rockets. I only had experience with Chamaedorea elegans, seifrizii and microspadix. They was a little bit slow, but this two was a surprise.

Those palms look very good! I only have experience with C. Cataractarum but it's in the ground and growing very fast so far.

I use a similar mix for most of my palms with 3/5 bark, 1/5 Pro Mix HP (peat based) and 1/5 coarse perlite. I tweak the percentages depending on the habitat of individual plants.

I am making the same. If need very fast drainage, i put more baked clay and less peat.

If it is for water lovers, less baked clay and more peat.

Washingtonia Robustas, survived winter.  But now yellowing and browning in some cases.  Maybe its, shock or maybe, needs, feed?? 

But hopefully will grow fresh shoots,???

I have a few more, elegans, seifrizii and microspadix.

Chamaedorea is the best genus for our small gardens.

I'm afraid I can only grow indoors
