What’s getting planted @happypalms thread

[happypalms]

I shall start this thread, this way when I plant a few more things in the garden it will be found here, and what a joy it will be, theres a lot to planted! 
So the new plants for today are kerriodoxas and chamaedorea adscendens a little reindhardtia gracilis a philodendron hose buono and a Zamia variegata. This little batch should get the garden looking good from the deck.

Sometimes planting in Fall or Autumn is nice . A bit cooler and still time to get settled before cold weather.

  I didn’t wait for Spring to add soil/ refresh container for Ernie . Yesterday I lifted him out of his pot , not root bound but soil disappearing. I added a few more pebbles to the bottom of the container along with a mix of potting soil and perlite. It seems Ernie likes to “eat” soil, hmmm. Harry🤔

For me basically anytime is a good time, with the exception of mid summer, unless iam planting in raised beds with irrigation all summer, otherwise summer can get unpredictable in my climate and you can go 6 weeks or more without any rainfall, and when the temperatures are above 35 degrees Celsius for most of that 6 weeks it spells  disaster for water loving palms. 
Ernies are top little palms, just check and make sure you don’t have earthworms in the container that can be problematic, underneath my benches in the nursery there is always soil there from the container plants either from plants falling over, the hose washing soil out or just bits that’s fall out of the bottom of the container. And iam pretty sure you have a male Ernie there.
