Blue Mexican Fan palm that I brought back from California in May seems to like it's Southern exposure as new spears/fronds coming along at what seems to be a abnormal speed for them. We've had a warm, wet Spring around here so far so most palms are happy in pots or in the ground. http://s3.postimg.o...

Jim, I think your right about heat tape around the root ball maybe having a drying out affect. Thought that this year with the super cold we had(worst in 30 years) and lack of snow. Since I have so many palms with heat tape around the root ball, this Winter I will only plug in master cord to them al...

Ptychosperma schefferi
While a common palm it seems in tropical Florida, seems hard to come by via mail order but found a really good nursery in Florida called D'Asign Source Botanicals that does mail order much like Jungle Music does for less tropical specimens. After seeing a picture of one on a website knew I just had ...

Tough Chinese fan palms
After having success overwintering Chinese fan palms in the ground and surviving, but not having a season long enough to where they look like much I dug one up to make room for a Sabal and put root mass in old grow pot and stuck in stream to one of my ponds since I knew they liked water. It really t...

Licuala mattanensis var. paucisecta
Took the plunge and bought one of these little beauties. Now of course the key will be to keep it warm and humid...but with air circulation so came up with this set up and it resides in the master bathroom along with Zebra palm that has been happy there for over a year. http://s28.postimg.org/wg7c83...

Thing is, nothing out there to find. Other than one Walmart never saw any Filifira's Even the palm hobbyists I visited didn't have any...and they had THOUSANDS of palms to sell. Even if I had gone back the way I came and stopped at that Walmart I don't know if it would have fit in the truck as it wa...

In Southern California with my truck and am finding these at Walmarts. ALL the tags say "Mexican Fan Palm" or simply "Fan Palm" yet the grow pots say either Washingtonia Filifera or Washington Robusta I'm inclined to think the grow pot is right, not the tag dangling from the palm...

Transplanting question....another one.
Moved this Trachy about a month ago from where it was at because it was too close to the house. Only moved it about 6 feet. Dug easily, and in well draining soil. as you can see in the pictures some of the fronds are hanging because they broke, but in all palm looks droopy. It does have a few good s...

Doing a road trip to San Diego in a couple of weeks with my truck and not going to come back with it empty! I had seen one in Phoenix at a Lowes but it wasn't mar...

I'm with Barb and the LED rope lights. But glad they work. Lower energy cost and much easier to find and use. So many of the C7 and C9 Christmas lights are crappy made in China ones that tend to fail easy. I'll still use the cages that I've made already until palms grow too tall, but I would suspect...

Anyone ID this Fishtail?
Bought this big Fishtail for a whopping $12 last year from a nursery that sells plants that people return when they get too big for their house/apt. It was time to transplant from the small pot it came in into something more permanent and by a better window for light. Palm didn't come with any ID ta...
