    What to plant here pt 2?

    Elephant ears John-o! They'll get ginormous with all that water
  6. Hi all After a lot of study I’ve narrowed down my list of palm books I want to get. I like info but also lots of colour photos. 2 of these I realise are more coffee table books but I’d be after them if the are worth it. I am more a casual hobbyist than a serious collector or grower with around 50 palms so are these books decent and for the criteria?
  7. Today
  8. Lol you have reminded me of a saying by Reiner Werner Fassbinder: Ich werfe keine Bomben, ich mache Filme.

    New Cycad and Palm Seeds (recently collected)

    Another good batch of seeds @garrytsen 9 days after sowing I’m already getting germination on Trachycarpus Winsan, Himgarda and nanus. Got them on 26C heat mats. Some containers directly on the mats, some on top of other containers so temps probably range from 20-25C at the seeds. They’re in 70/30 coco-coir/perlite mix.

    Free Butia

    Hmmm, I would fully expect a pure Butia to have thorns on the petioles at that size. The fact that it's thornless is a large indicator it is hybrid.

    More palms in pots

    You want em in pots, I got em in pots!
  17. Another beautiful wet humid afternoon after a 39 degree Celsius day (most likely 42 in the sun with 85 percent humidity). So it’s a good time for planting some more of Mother Natures gifts. Another 5 years and one tropical paradise. kentiopsis oliviformis Stangeria eriopsischameadorea metallica dypsis procera draceana goldieana cycas deboansis or a x multipinata ceratozamia subrosephylla

    2025-2026 Florida Winter

    Not a freeze, but after the winter we've had, bad enough to be lemon juice in a paper cut.

    The Vine Thread

    Believe there are ..at least.. a couple specialty nurseries out there that do grow various Philodendrons / related genus plants from seed.. Seems pretty easy too.
  22. Double flames?

    What to plant here pt 2?

    Bananas will love all that water. Maybe put some lily pads in there too.

    The Vine Thread

    yeah exactly i’ve always wondered why absolutely nobody attempts to grow many of these common aroids by seed, like just for fun at least? I guess palms are not mass tissue cultured so we actually appreciate the process of seed growing unlike other people 😂

    Pindo, Mule or Alfredii for front yard?

    Please post updates about this palm over the next year or two.
