It's been in the same corner in my apartment for over 2 years now. My little balcony is cluttered with palms (see my Patio Squad thread in Palms In Pots subforum, I'd have to kill stuff to make room for it outdoors.) Anyway, tonight's update is my Aloe Dorothea. Finally showing some dark reds indoors. Dunno if this counts as cheating, but I read they show more colors when stressed, so I've left a grow light on it for 15+ hours a day, haven't watered it in 2 months, and showed it my credit score. I'd turn red too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I get the current height on your Areca? And do you think it will grow much taller over the years, or stay relatively short? I recently planted one of these in a HIGHLY protected spot (near the house, with option to cover during a freeze). I'm curious how tall it might get in my area. There's a patio cover well above it, but am thinking it *probably* won't ever get that tall here in SoCal... but would love to confirm. * Your plant is what inspired me to give it a try 🥰 5 Stacey Wright | Graphic Designer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt in OC Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Thanks @iDesign! Current height is about 8 feet to the tip of the spear. I don’t know how much taller it will get. I have tried a few others without this one’s success. The raised planter and north exposure seem to help this area really thrive. This plant was also relatively huge when I got it from Floribunda. Good luck and let us know. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmfriend Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Hi, after a very cold week around Christmas and another two week-long cold wave during the second half of January (temps between 50-64F/10-18C) I am surprised to see my last fall planted out... P. hillebrandii completely unharmed,... ...even pushing a new spear.. This one I am happy about, too... Planted out at the same time - Clinostigma savoryanum - ... ...being 'active' as well - pushing a new spear, too. This one here is the only one that grows happily only during our cooler and drier winter months - ...now seven or eight years old from seed - Jubea chilensis. (At the moment no plans to plant out - it still looks to vulnerable to me. I guess I give it another ten years...😅) Lars 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy Adair Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 I continue to enjoy all the posts here and thanks to all who add content! Today this Hydriastele flabellata shows some nice color. The skinny trunk belongs to Dypsis paludosa. Still a Dypsis I hope? Looking down on one of my Licuala mattanensis “mapu” I am sneaking in a non palm that drew my attention momentarily from the palms nearby. Freycinetia cumingiana, pandanus relative. Asterogyne martiana with its own red leaf fading but always so symmetric and its corrugated leaves pleasant to touch. 12 3 Cindy Adair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmfriend Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Hi, it seems that the first seeds on my seed grown Veitchia joannis are ripening... ... Getting new palms out of these would be amazing. I have seen flowering Veitchia arecina in the Southeast Botanical Garden on the Okinawa main island while the Veitchia joannis species was not in their collection. If it turns out that these seeds are viable, it might the first time at all to have this species bred naturally here in Japan. Lars 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realarch Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Lars, your V. joannis looks to be a hybrid. Certainly far from an expert, I’ve been told that Veitchia here in Hawaii are notorious for cross pollinating and some have even suggested getting a true joannis would be extraordinary. There are some older specimens locally in East Hawaii that look like the real deal, with weepy, droopy leaflets, noticeably different than V. arecina. I’ve seen many specimens that have that in-between look including a couple in my garden which were collected as seed from a local garden. This is just an observation on my part, and it’s worth is just that. Tim 1 Tim Hilo, Hawaii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
