This bottomed out at 24°F. Station has trouble synchronizing

I bought a Paucidentatus seedling growing a new leaf. When the leaf had put on a couple of inches it started yellowing and remained this colour. I have fed the plant at the start of our growing season and it is starting to put on a new leaf but this again appears to be yellow. Any suggestions what this could be? Nutrient deficiency, I've heard this can happen with lack of iron uptake, maybe chelated Iron? Any observations / advice would be appreciated. Initial condition Matured leaf New season leaf yesterday

The three biggest losers in relative terms: 1.) Florida Keys 2.) Brevard county 3.) Palm Beach county The biggest winners (if you can call it that) in relative terms: 1.) The entire west coast within about ten miles from the gulf, from Citrus county southward 2.) North eastern Florida didn't get hit all that bad in relative terms, many locations on par or not much colder than with Orlando 3.) The panhandle, again, in relative terms.

25F low for my location. Worse than 2010. Hopefully everything pulls through.

Any Floridian pirates attend the event? Please share some photos

I'm cold. But nothing compared to what's going on further east. A friend in NJ is waking up to single digit temps, and apparently they've had so much snow they load it in dump trucks and take it to machines that melt it. We've just gotten frost and the cats water dishes freezing over and single digit wind chills, and I'm still in jorts and slides because.... It's just how I get down.

27.5 was my ultimate low here in northwest pasco. Didn't drop below freezing till right after 330am

About 7:00am EST

Nothing but fun around here. I bought an Uresana from @Josue Diaz a while back and he shipped me 2. I unpacked them and got sidetracked and apparently it's bad to leave palms sitting open air on the counter for any length of time. After putting them in a tray, baggies over their pots, and bottom watering one is recovering and pushing new green growth. The other one spear pulled but isn't mushy and didn't fizz with peroxide so I'll let it ride. I also got some Sabal Maratima from @Sabal King - I don't remember, 2023 or 2024? - anyway, I put them in 3g pots with cheap garden soil because it's what I had at the time, and they were growing great! Lots of blue color, lots of growth, and then just one day they shrivelled up. I unpotted them very carefully - the soil around the center had become hydrophobic. So like, I do the finger check and the soil is damp, but the center was like a brick. So I rinsed them off (gently) and they were also rootbound already - so I put them in 5g pots with coco coir and perlite with just a handful of Jobes palm food and bottom watering them too. Should I give them humidity covers too? They're indoors for the winter and it's still around 60%RH in there and this morning was the lowest temp I've seen in there - 68°, but it's also 19 outside. They did great in the sun with moderate watering and everything feels nice and firm, just the foliage all shriveled up.. Between these, the Uresana, and getting got on the alleged "Causarium" seeds I'm not doing well with the exotic Sabals. Bananas and philodendrons are exploding though fwiw. And my Mexicana from @5am is getting huge.

@JLeVert - What size do you usually plant in-ground?

Will you be at Gobbler's Knob on Monday?

I’ve got one sensor out in the open showing 24.6 here in Merritt Island the others are around 25-26. Brutal night here.

Whitelockii shooting for the stars

At 6AM. Notice that it is colder in Brevard than Volusia

Nice, Peroffskyana cone for comparison

More photo's would help?!

Is that fog in the air?

27F at my house right now. Was forecast to get to 26F, still another hour and a half to go

5AM

Guys don't forget to share the outcome of this cold wave in the cold damage report forum. Fingers crossed for you.

Windy but not as much as earlier, 38F here at 4am here…. Low is supposed to be somewhere between 35 and 32 at 7am, then slowly warming to 50F by 4pm, then another drop off to around 35 tonight. A couple of degrees here will make all the difference. Predictions seem to be moderating by a degree or two since late last night. Either way, it’s nipply out. I have instituted emergency bedroom sleeping precautions.

As of Sunday, 2:30AM... South Broward, brrr The wind is atrocious. Ten to twenty mph steady with gusts banging stuff around outside, whistling through, pushing on the windows. I heard something fall not sure what it was. Went outside for a quick run and everything is still covered as far as I can tell. Northside, in wind, front of house: 37ºF (2.7ºC) Southside on patio, covered, out of wind: 45ºF (7ºC) Garage, heated: 62ºF (16ºC) - The north facing metal garage door is a bit cold to the touch. Some empty pots found themselves loose and rolling around, small branches are down, windchimes going nonstop... Ryan
