amh Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 A green house will be a great winter project. The collection is looking great now and will be even better once they are in the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phoenix roebelenii no, that was an impulse buy at Lowe’s. Here the most exotic outdoor plants they’ll stock is a few yuccas. It will stay potted, but can’t beat them for an indoor palm in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive started terracing it with raised beds, but I’m going to stop where I’m at and start digging out basically a buried greenhouse. Hoping I can keep it warm enough in there in the winter to keep young potted cold hardy palm varieties alive and growing through the winter. That’s the goal at least 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the goal at least best of luck, you should get some warmth from the ground. There's a guy in Nebraska that has a geothermal greenhouse that stays just warm enough for citrus and some other tropical plants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have multiple that I grew from seed. They were so easy to germinate. I just wish they would grow faster lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if that guy grew cactus and agaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if that guy grew cactus and agaves You would probably have a 15' to 20' height limit. There may be humidity issues for succulents, but I dont think that would be too much of a hurdle. I'd love to have one of these, but I dont know how I would keep rainwater out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
