Comments (13)The paint does eventually flake off on those that I've seen around. Also they will spout offsets. I have lots of cylindrical sans....lots. I've had some that have grown and were trimmed. I just stick the cutting in soil and low and behold it roots and grows! Now, if I could only get a different one to root before it either shrivels up or rots I'd be a happy girl....See MoreMost Expensive Gritty Mix On Earth
Comments (47)Hi Rina/Ewwmayo, Here's Al's latest re-telling of the pudding/perlite concept from last month... ( http://forums2.gardenweb.com/discussions/2842847/container-soils-water-movement-and-retention-xxii?n=822 ) "Imagine a jar full of pudding or fine sand. In your mind's eye, start adding perlite to either. Does 1 perlite particle make a difference in drainage or aeration, the properties you would be seeking to improve with the addition of perlite? Of course not. 100 pieces? No. 1,000? No. There is a level at which perlite starts to make a notable difference in the properties mentioned (aeration/drainage). It's called the threshold level and it's established at the point when there is no longer enough sand or pudding to fill all the air spaces between the perlite particles. Even in the mind's eye you can see that it takes a very large fraction of coarse material and a small fraction of fine material to make a notable difference in drainage/aeration in most cases. That's why you can't effectively amend soils based on fine particles by adding even a pretty healthy measure of pine bark or perlite.If you end up having 75% pine bark and the rest of the 25% fraction comprised of equal measures of peat or potting soil + perlite, you're not amending the peat or potting soil with bark - you're amending the fraction that's larger by far with the ingredients that in combination make up the lesser volume of 25% If you start with a gallon of Miracle-Gro potting soil and add 1 gallon of pine bark and/or perlite to it, have we created notably better aeration or drainage? No. Even at 2 gallons of bark and perlite there is still enough potting soil to fill all the large air spaces between the coarse material - so little gain. At 3 gallons of bark and/or perlite, when there is not enough fine material in the gallon of potting soil to fill the spaces between the large particles, we start to make notable headway. This is why you can use 3 ingredients that when mixed together CAN make an extremely productive, root-friendly medium, and mix them in such a way that the end product is almost unusable." - Al The takeaway for me is that if perlite is roughly the same size as the other particles in your medium it will function well, but adding it to a fine medium like potting soil or peat is ineffective. Am I interpreting correctly?...See MoreFungus gnat larva or tiny earth worms?
Comments (7)buy some media proper to trees ... sterilize it.. and repot the plant .. wash out the pot with 10% bleach also ... and while your at it.. the watering can.. and anything else that touches the pot .... i would be guessing.. if i suggested a cactus mix for palms ... full and complete drainage .. perhaps there is a palm forum in this regard ... if you have a gnat issue.. you are keeping the soil too wet ... and many trees simply do not like to be that wet ... and perhaps that is why the plant is struggling ... based on the pic provided.. im just guessing ... wet the product before sterilizing ... http://tipnut.com/sterilize-soil/ ken...See MoreRelated Professionals
