Growth speed of Dendrobium Kingianum?
Comments (22)Moth Orchid. Please tell the readers where you are. That is vital information if you are after cultivation hints. Temperatures down to 32F are not a worry for this orchid which you have placed in much too big a pot. (Overpotted) In nature it is often found growing on rocks (Lithophyte) and I have seen it growing in poor well drained stony soil. Good Luck! Read the thread and see if you can find the notes written by the late Wilford Neptune. Added via Edit. The keikis will not tax the plant at all. Unfortunately some very desirable clones make lots of keikis. I think modern breeding is trying to eliminate lots of keikis. But you will get flowers on the keikis as well as on the main plant BUT, you are trying to copy the climate in eastern Australia somewhere in the USA and if you grow your kingianum alongside your Phalaenopsis it will be happy and will grow very nicely because that is what it is adapted to do, grow when conditions are right. Alas, the conditions needed to make it flower will not be appreciated by a Phalaenopsis. This post was edited by arthurm on Sat, Jan 10, 15 at 17:14...See MoreHow to Speed Up Fitzroya Seedling Growth
Comments (2)Younger specimens grown in various locations here have come along pretty rapidly once of some size. The most dramatic one I have seen is in the parking area at Heronswood, it is perhaps 15'-20' tall - and has opened up, developed some longer branches than those seen on other, smaller trees here. If not for the Heronswood planting species would still appear as what might be described as a sort of scraggly juniper with flattened leaves. A botanical curiosity rather than an ornamental specimen. We may have no older, larger examples up here due to them not surviving our worst winters....See Morespeeding up palm growth?

Comments (20)Hey zeeth, Be sure you keep that plug out of your pot. Coconut palms like a lot of water, but only in the warm months and with a well drained soil. I would suggest that you plant any others in a regular nursery pot (5gal.) with 4 or 5 holes on the sides at the bottom of the pot. Plant them in a good organic potting soil with a little Perlite mixed in. This will allow for good drainage. Judging by the size of your palm, you could go ahead and fertilize it with a good palm fertilizer (preferably a 12-4-8 ratio) with micronutrients. Apply according to the directions. It should only take a litte at the size it is now. It looks like you palm is about 10 months old, and they only feed off of the coconut for about the first 6-8 months after sprouting, so now would be a good time to fertilize it, then water in the fertilizer. This time of the year, water your palm about once every 2-3 days, and in the winter, only about once ever 7-10 days. Good luck....See More- last monthlast modified: last month
