Newly planted Pygmy Date Palm, fronds turning brown
Comments (10)Good job posting the links as the embedded pics didn't work for me. Every other day seems a bit much to me if they're in the ground, but it doesn't sound like you're drowning them either. The leaf loss in your pics looks pretty minimal/normal for a transplanted one, especially since they mostly seem to be the older fronds, but let's see what our other members say too. I'd just just make sure they get lightly dry between watering (mine get watered twice a week at this time of year) and then not to sweat the older fronds yellowing/browning, especially after a recent transplant. I think your plants look pretty good overall. Good luck and keep us posted, Grant...See MoreQuick questions. How many fronds does a Queen palm grow in spring
Comments (1)Mine puts out about 2-3 fronds between spring and summer and usually 3-4 a year. Its in a pot which slows its growth down. They dont put out a lot of fronds a year though. If you have a growing season that lasts almost all year, then you'll probably get at least 5-6 fronds a year from Queens, but thats only if its nice and warm. Mine grows slower if daytime temperatures dont get to at least 70. -Alex...See MorePalm frond fell on my newly planted Aglaonema
Comments (1)Gee, I wish I had a dollar for every palm frond that's fallen on one (or many) of my plants. I'd have my mortgage paid off, LOL. Aglaonema are fairly easy and will grow readily from cuttings. Just like Dieffenbachias. I've had them broken before and just put the pieces in the ground and off they go. Cheap way of getting new plants....See MoreWindmill Palm Fronds Shriveling!
Comments (9)I didn't pay much attention to the roots when I transferred it to the smaller pot. But, I don't think they were all that much limp or dark. The roots were covered in dirt so they probably were bound to be a little dark. It still looks pretty green yet. It's just the leaves that are shriveled up. How will I know if or when it's finally dead? Should I just throw it away and buy another one to start over? I potted it shortly after Christmas of 2013. All that time up until a week or so ago, it thrived! Its hard to know exactly when it started downhill since I only noticed a few days ago. It was doing really well though! Some people suggested maybe I actually under-watered it rather than over-watered. I always feared root-rot, so I would not water it much at all. But, in the last month or so I do seem to remember that I might have watered it more often. I don't know exactly though. By the way, in April I will be moving to California (Hanford). Will a Trachycarpus Fortunei grow in this climate indoors? What about outdoors? I know they have a plethora of Washingtonia Robusta out there. I think those palms like the extreme heat though, that's why they thrive. I believe I've read the Trachycarpus doesn't like extreme heat (no humidity) like where I'm moving to. Would it even be wise to attempt to restart on another Trachy? I would keep it in the house until it gets large enough to plant outside in the yard. But, even in the house it'll probably get 90-100F since we probably won't use the AC too much. They get between 8-12 inches of precipitation a year there, and temps reach 60s-80s in Winter/90s-120s in Summer. I don't really want to waste my time and effort on another Trachy if it's not going to make it out there where I'll be moving. When I had the idea to grow a Trachy I had thought I'd never leave the cold north (Northwest Ohio). But now, I think I'll be living there or possibly Florida for the long-term. I doubt I'll ever move back here to stay. Would another palm be better suited for me out there? Such as Washingtonia Robusta, Washingtonia Filifera, or something else?...See More- 5 years ago
