Ravenea Xerophila questions


Coasta

Recommended Posts

Hello all! I have had a Ravenea Xerophila since October and noticed with half day sun that it started to toast up. The new emerging leaf was developing sun burn as well.  I thought these were supposed to be bullet proof with sun. Has anyone else experienced this? 

Also I was told at the nursery to leave the boot out of the soil so when I repotted it a few weeks ago I did that. Should it stay above the soil line? 

I also noticed that some of the boot fell off today. 20210329_082458.thumb.jpg.5de799ff549272be803ac39f4af363f6.jpg20210329_082617.thumb.jpg.c1383601305d6dbc65affb3408b23be6.jpg20210329_082617.thumb.jpg.c1383601305d6dbc65affb3408b23be6.jpg

Yes. The boot needs to stay above the soil line or the palm could rot out. The fronds are burned because they previously were greenhouse grown.The next frond it produces should be better adapted to our conditions. That's why,when possible,you should buy locally grown material,as it is already adapted to our extremely hot and dry climate. Imports of exotic palms from Florida and California almost ALWAYS burn at first when moved to Arizona. Over time,your tree should adapt and do very well here,even planted in full sun,in the ground.

No worries on part of boot falling off. They generally disintegrate from the top down,but the plant knows at what depth it is happy.
