Palm ID
Comments (12)MrB, that's quite a harrowing week this plant has had. Six hours is more than enough to ruin the foliage of parlor palm (Chamaedorea elegans) if it's not used to that already. I'm confused why you'd be ready to get a new plant if this one already needed a new pot? What kind of bugs did it have? If any, the plant almost certainly came with them from the store. If you are looking for another one, and there were bugs, I would shop somewhere else if possible. Confirming the ID of any possible pest before taking action is usually best, so you can then know what can be done about it. "Soapy water" doesn't tell us much. Was it a soap intended for use on plants? Did the soap get into the soil? The PH of some dish soaps is quite high, the opposite of what is healthy for most potted plants in soil or on leaves. Not something that would be conducive to pretty green leaves, but could easily lead to chlorotic yellow leaves. I don't know about it happening within a week though. These little palms are sold in a crowded little clump. They are one of the easiest plants I've repotted since their roots are strong, long, and grow slowly, so not usually so tangled into a tight ball. A bigger pot is something I'd do, separating the plants as much as possible when putting them in the new pot. When finished, the soil level should be at the same place on the stems as it was before, possibly a little lower, definitely not higher. Then each should have a little room to form into a nice little tree, assuming you like the clump look. At a glance, the pot would look the same, but looking more closely, the shape of each will be more rounded, full, healthy looking. You can see each trunk clearly to inspect for pests, remove old leaf stumps that can give pests a place to hide. That should be a good setup for the rest of their potted life, though you would want to replant as a clump periodically. After initial separation, I wouldn't attempt to separate them for any following repot unless I was splitting them up to different pots....See MoreWhat tree/s to put in my yard in St.Louis MO?
Comments (32)J0nd03- that ft.mcnair is a beautiful tree. Ill have to see what the specs are on it as far as tolerances/preferences. Tornado- no offense taken at all, I'm quite long winded myself (I am a car salesman!) and I love taking politics but unfortunately from what I have learned (perhaps its the area we live in?) most discussions about politics/govt matters turn into a pissing contest/yelling match because when someone has a differeing view than I yet cannot support their claims/reasons for their beliefs they get defensive and resort to un civilized behavior. I think it's hilarious but sure you have experenced it as well! ;) I really appreciate the info your giving me. From what I have read/picked up from folks (a good friend of mine is a horticulture major/landscape business owner) these beech trees will maintain their vibrant foliage as long as they are kept hydrated. I'm site the tree in your pics gets pruned/pest control done professionally and regularly but I'm not sure about the watering part too much?...See Morewhat kind of tree/s ?
Comments (5)the seed are called gumballs ... and when the tree ages enough.. to start dropping them.. you will not be able to walk barefoot in your yard ... glorious PARK trees.. you better think long and hard about whether your yard is big enough ... also.. known for surface roots ... and suckers.. if you cut a root ... now.. if you just gotta have one.. check out the link ... who cares about all the other problems.. lol apparently i am a bit bipolar on my opinion of these trees.. lol ... oh.. and i forgot to mention.. the heavenly.. aroma of a crushed leaf. but it is very ephemeral.. lasting only seconds ... ken Here is a link that might be useful: pay real money for a variegated one ......See MoreS.O.S.! What is happening to my lemon tree?
Comments (14)I'm so bummed! And the closer I looked at it, I could see the webs and sap beads they leave behind. Grrr! It is on the main trunk and 2 of the 4 branches. I wonder if I can use our shower head to hose it off?? We have well water... It's 35 degrees out so it's not really ideal to hose it off outside... Thoughts? I have it in our living room where there are other plants, but the closest is 4 feet away (Poinsettia), the rest are about 12ft, and then on the other side of the room. I could always move it to the dining room where there are no plants, and it would get the same amount of light. I'll be cleaning it up in just a moment. Hopefully all ends well!...See MoreSarah
