Looks like a livistona chinensis to me but I´m no expert 8) I have Livistona rotundifolia which looks similar but with rounded bright green leaves. I wonder why they fill one pot with so many seedlings? I know, the looks but in a long perspective single plant is more useful imo. I´ve done the same w...

I remember when I arrived from Malaga (Spain) to Berlin. It was summer and the difference was almost 20 c. In Berlin there was 15 c So it was almost like in home but it is even suprise to me that they can grow washies outside. Germany is deeper in south but they grow palms in Norway too.

I couldn´t resist and moved temporarily the cover today. Nothing new was discovered, the trunk and petioles are still solid. The spear is green and didn´t pull, guess I wasn´t pulling too hard? :) But as far I remember the leaves looked crappy already in fall, they were bent badly, brown spots on le...

Can't commne ton the Brahea, but, to me, the Trachy looks like it's in trouble. Is there a change in the colouration between the lower or the lower part of the leaves and the outer parts? Does the leaf feel 'dry' to the touch? I've got to say that it does look a lot like the damamge I've seen in ba...

I took some photos of my trachy today. The results aren´t promising :( Are these leaves damaged severly? BTW the green thing on the leaves is fungicide which I applied in fall. Also I put thermometer sensor inside to get more info about the temps inside. When the lights are on it makes at least 10 c...

Hi Josef!
I see you have left some of the yuccas potted in the ground. Do you take them to a shelter in winter or cover them somehow?

Last year I built a raised bed for desert plants(yuccas, succulents). I think if I´ll ever plant it then it would be there. Considering its condition I´ll let it grow stronger for at least another year. We have usually lots of rain during the different seasons so raincover is neccesary. I´ve underst...

You have built a real fortress for your trachy I bet it took some engineering and hard work to build it.:) I think the temperature inside the house is not high most of the time, rather cold :? I dont have thermometer inside the house so I really dont know for sure but I have one installed close to i...

Hi all, I planted in 1st may so I think it is early. Though it didn´t grow much due the fact it had not many roots. I applied the cover first for the reason that we had lot or rain I was afraid it might rot, later in nov I installed the lights. I think the lights have done more use than harm. 150 w ...

After reading all of this it is sure that everyone has their own unique way how to protect plants :) I have trachy first year in ground and I covered it with 150w rope light and double bubblewrap house which has a lid made from layered plastic. Anyway we are having terrible winter over the years :? ...
