Being that I just got the BIG one, it will come in during the winter. Thank got we have 10 foot ceilings! My places has an EXTREMELY bright exposure during winter on the south end of it, and my other pigmy date thrived inside for a few months last winter. I do not really do anything special do it, just water it regularly. They do however get plenty of direct sun most of the winter through the winter. When I move it inside I next oct/nov I will post a photo of it in it's indoor home. I dont have a large place, but I do have room enough for those. The biggest challenge for the big ones are space, and moving them in and out. Good thing is that you will only need to move then in and out twice a year. The large one, believe it or not I am able to lift the entire thing myself. It weighs about 85 pounds or so I would guess. It is HEAVY for sure, but not to the point where I can not lift it. That reminds me, I need to go out and take a couple more photos of it because it is blooming like crazy. Ill post those pics here too.

Really great job. Heres mine so far. Sabal minor Needle palm One out of two windmill palms. This comming winter will be their first one. 2nd windmill palm, this one has a double trunk gazeebo plants Budding thanksgiving cactus. You cant see the buds too well, but they doubled in size this past week because of all the cool weather. 3 gallon pygmy palm Huge pygmy palm. Thats going to be fun to bring inside in september! The cannas seem to love this rain. The wandering jew plant tripled in size since the beggining of april. The dark colored canna is canna wyoming and the green one is richard wallace Orange tree and dwarf cavendish banana. The orange tree came from a orange fruit at the grocery store. I tried the same things with lemons with equal success. The orange is 3 years old and is just branching out. The banana is new and replaced my old super dwarf cavendish which would probably have fruit on it by now if it wasnt attacked by aphids last fall. More cannas and some annuals. The variegrated plant in the back of the geraniums is an iris. More tropicals. The cannas are canna petoria, and red king humbert. Also in the picture are some mother in law tounges and a potted pindo palm This philodendron is making a great comeback after being burnt by the heat we had in april. Its enjoying our recent cold weather (at least something is) and pushed out two leaves this past week. 3 year old stromanthe. Usually has more color than this, and the new leaves are showing more color than the old ones. Elephant ear and a sago palm. The sago just pushed a new flush of leaves. My experiment. This pindo palm will be going through its first winter and hopefull will make it. I got it off ebay for a great price and got another one (thats potted) incase this one doesnt make it. Huge yuccas that wll have to be treated as an annual First year with plumerias. The smallest one is called plumeria divine and will never get big, and I have no idea what the big one is called, but it looks old enough for it to flower soon (it never flowered before judging by the trunk) 100s of air plants on a cherry tree. Got those off ebay too. They arent mounted on the tree so they wont be hard to take off this fall so they dont die. Sorry for the darkness, I took the pics when it was raining. Hopefully the sun will come out soon because Some of these plants havent really taken off yet.

Houseplant palms Cordyline (comes back every year) new needle from lowes Those were my 2 5 gallon pindo palms I bought this year at sweetbrook nursery on richmond in staten island They were 35 dollars each Any ideas on winter protection Those were my Trachycarpus takil's that I bought two years ago as seedlings from rolling thunder nursery for 5 dollars each I over wintered them inside until this year. My cannas have seen better days they began two rot after we had two weeks of rain straight. I cut them back and hopefully the will live. majesty palm (overwintered indoors) MAJESTY PALM i HAD IT AS A HOUSEPLANT FOR 3 YEARS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. i DON'T KNOW WHY nobody had any luck with them

can't tell from photo if white spots are dried salts from tap water... but could be some bizarre evidence of spider mites (usually spider mites show a diffuse, sickly, speckled/mottled look on the underside of the leaves -eventually top side, too) with a hint of fine webbing. Leaves start looking paler and paler. This IS a typical reaction, however, to attempt to grow a Majesty palm indoors... leaves die and fall off due to lack of bright light, high humidity and wind exposure. Very hard species to grow indoors without at least 1/2 a year of its life outdoors, too (unless you have a greenhouse). This plant HATES the indoors. But super cheap so stores sell if for that purpose, knowing it will die and you can just get another one.
