Barb, it looks like you have room for a few more yourself!

What is on your "MUST HAVE" list that you don't have now?

That's why it's so discouraging nursery shopping...got one, got one, got three, drat!
Plus that's why many of us have to start 'em from seeds.
And wait, and wait.

But since Igor posted a pic of his Volcano...wow!

I'll see if his link works here: http://postimage.org/image/4nhmtaysj/

Isn't that a stunner? :compress:

So, what's next on your list?

Barb

Barb they all look great. It`s a good thing your cold palm house has windows that face south and your main house as well. They get plenty of bright sunlight through the winter. That Volcano palm looks great Igor. What would be the proper name for it be? I googled volcano palm and came up with palms that grow on volcano`s 😆

Barb,

The "Volcano" reminds me of a European Fan Palm

Nice day today so opened 3rd car garage to give these guys some fresh air and sun. One if front/left is European fan palm.

I have 4 palms on order and will be here Friday the 13th. 5/6ft Foxtail and 5/6 ft Triangle Palm along with 2 foxtail seedlings. Then I really have to be done.

Scott,,
If you listen closely, you can hear your palms going "aaaahhhh, fresh air"
They sure look good.

Re the volcano, click on Jesse's link (1 post above).
Turns out the volcano is a Chamaerops humilis!

But the RPS link makes it sound as though it's a pygmy version, i.e. bonsai.
Igor's is one helluva bonsai!

Nice selection of plants arriving on...oh oh...Friday the 13th 😆 😆

I'm sure you know this but Foxtails and Triangles can't go in your garage...too cold.
Looking forward to seeing the pics when they arrive.

Then I really have to be done.

never! won't happen! nosireeeeebob!
You're just beginning the madness.

Ah yes the "Vulcano" palm, not the molten lava version of the "Volcano" palm. 😆 I like the fact that this version of the Med. fan grows a singular trunk or so it seems in the pic. It reminds me of a Trithrinax campestris.

Barb,

Foxtails I will always keep in house, even in summer. Triangle I will keep inside for the balance of the winter and put outside (in a pot) but will let it over winter in garage in that protected area next winter. It never gets below freezing in my garage.

Will post pics after they come and I get them potted up.

sashaeffer - I think that is the most common phrase for plant freaks " ok, no more, im done". That is, until you happen to find that elusive plants you have been searching for. Or the worse part, learning about new things that perk up your interest.

My bane is seeds. I received my seed order (asimina triloba, and magnolia tripetala), only to realize i missed about 20 types of seed that im interested in. Yes, that means i made another order (Acer Pseudosieboldianum (the "northerners japanese maple"), Acer Pennsylvanium (NA only native snakebark maple), Western service berry, and pananx (ginsing). Nothing too tropical at the moment, but in reality, i counted over 180 potted plants indoors (rough count!), I honestly dont have much more room.

Scott,
Sorry, I forgot that your garage never freezes, but even close to freezing is a bit chilly for a foxtail.

My big Foxtail is on the patio all summer, in mostly shade.
But they do love the heat in summer...think of where the original stand was discovered.
Northeast coast of Queensland, AU, where summers are as hot as a firecracker.

The 25+ two-year old Foxtails I started from seed have sunburned like crazy with only half hour of summer sun a day 😕 likely because they started their lives in a dark basement. I don't think those babies will ever be acclimatized to the sun. Damn!

Barb

Well Foxtails will always be inside in winter, but the Triangle I will over winter in garage I'm sure.

So Scott, pics of your new palms? (tap, tap, pace, pace...) 😆

Here are a couple. PM you all of them.

Foxtail seedlings

Triangle palm

Foxtail palm

Great that they arrived!

The 2 Foxtail seedlings look very good, they'll need some good light but no direct sun while they settle in.
Reminds me of when all my foxtail seeds finally popped and started growing 😉

Nice sized Triangle, haven't seen nurseries carrying that size the last few years, they're usually smaller than yours.

The big Foxtail will take time to settle in, looks like it got cold during shipment.
Hopefully not too cold.

Apart from wiping all the leaves of all new palms to get rid of sprays/dust/dirt, they'll benefit from frequent mistings.
3 or 4x a day, especially the first week.

Maybe quarantine the new stuff for a week or two before putting them with others in your plant room.

Great pics!
Barb

🙁 I can't quarantine anything....I don't have ANY rooms that don't have plants in them.

I will use my solution of warm water, couple drops of dawn and 1/2 teaspoon of Neem oil and wipe down the leaves on the foxtail.

I wiped down 3 of my most other most recent palms I bought at local nursery's my Bamboo, Kentia and Fishtail clumping palm. I was SHOCKED at the dust and dirt I got off of them. Went through like 5 small rags but they sure look good now, and it's gotta make them happy to be cleaned like that.
