ZPalms Posted May 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Dollar general had some awesome deep pots and I got some to repot all my washies, It’s been over a year and my washies have outgrown their bags since last October so this repotting is very big since they haven’t really put putting out leaves due to the lack of space and only hold about 3 leaves at a time so they should start pumping those fronds out and fill out, I’m so excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPalms Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Did I plant this too high? I’m currently repotting these but I don’t know if I should lower this down a tiny bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPalms Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) I poured all the dirt out and repositioned it but idk if it's any better but whatever it's done, I have a major headache from this repotting Edited May 19, 2022 by ZPalms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPalms Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Do washies correct their positioning over time? I repotted my washie but since it was dark outside I couldnt see it has such a tiny little lean to it, will that correct overtime as it grows?

Thinking of dumping the dirt out and redoing it Don't think it will affect the final growth of the palm, it hasn't started trunking yet so nothing is final... I think the pulling out and repotting may be more damaging than the lean, but neither will kill it probably 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pulling out and repotting may be more damaging than the lean, but neither will kill it probably I got them in good positions that i'm happy with and they are getting tons of direct heat and a lot of water, so they should be all settled in, but that's good to know for the future, I thought to myself that they should straighten themselves out over time, but I wasn't sure if even the smallest of wrong positioning would affect the trunk growth direction and me being crazy wanting them directly in the center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZPalms Posted June 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 If a washie has a lean in it, does it correct itself over time? I planted one of my washies 2 weeks ago in the pots above and I don't really want to dig it out of the pot to adjust its position since the lean is so small but it's kinda annoying me because I want it to be straight as a nail but I don't know if it will fix itself or not. I could dig it out and reposition it but I'm sure the roots have settled in to the new pots and have grown even the slightest into the new soil and I don't want to disturb what it has done in 2 weeks, so I don't know what I want to do.

You can always fix it when you repot it again. I say this but my Majesty is still crooked as hell cuz I let it get waaaaaay too root bound and the new pot wasn't deep enough so I'm just training it with a wild curve lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one thing I've learned is they're going to bend towards their light source whether it's a grow light or the sun. My dracaena has like 4 different bends and I think it's awesome but that's me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they were in the grow bags, The bags allowed them to shift and bend however they wanted so it's something I'm gonna have to do for my sanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPalms Posted June 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Anyone know how much fertilizer to use in pots like these? I was going to do whatever it said on the back of palmgain for pot size but does that matter to the size of the palm itself? These pots are about 10 or 13inches so I'm not sure how much to use for the tree size or does it matter and the washies would be ok 1 1/2 cup fertilizer?

JohnAndSancho Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 I usually super duper dilute everything in pots just because there's no natural dilution. I do make exceptions for my Majesty and my queen just because they're so thirsty and I've recently added my washy to this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My soil for my washies stays pretty moist so I might just go ahead and do 1 1/2 cup of palmgain then do it again in 6 weeks, the instructions are so confusing to me so I hope that's enough for them but not too much to harm them Edited June 5, 2022 by ZPalms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 1-3gal pots just get a couple spoonfuls now and then. If someone else chimes in and says I can give them more, I'm here for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZPalms Posted June 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 My first time putting fertilizer in them last week and I'm suprised the light green turned into a deeper green and they are finally starting to push the new growth faster since I transplanted them in their new pots, I'm beyond excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZPalms Posted August 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I noticed 2 of my filibustas had some rot or something happen briefly, It did rain for a couple days so could that be a cause for this? It seems to have grown out though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPalms Posted August 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) Apart from that weird rot issue that seemed to have cleared itself, here’s my washies now and they have completely taken off. Now that they are this size how much robusta and filifera is visible? I wanna say they are leaning more robusta Edited August 30, 2022 by ZPalms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
