I did, but I really do not claim any win!

Las del caribe y México parecen irme bien pero con esas más tropicales aún no me atrevido Cuales zamias tienes Richard?

no Konstantinos, I only now have minor, palmetto, bermudana and causiarum

I keep mine outdoors on the dry side all winter long. They like fresh air and rain on the leaves, but not in the soil, which is a perfect puzzle. He who finds the key, is the winner.

May we be blessed (and FAST) with returning daylight on the Solstice today

Yes, they bloom. Don't cut it off. SOme people will tell you that you should to 'sendmre energy to develop leaves'. But the opposite is true. Interrupting the bloom cycle before its finished can be detremental to your plant by robbing it of the nutrients it would recover when the bloom fades and dies

It's mainly compost. Third year same winter stress. They recover during summer but not enough to speed growth normally.

Thanks!

Too late... 😴 Anyway do you know what it's huge this is

Easy solution - don't go to sleep!

Only you would notice Sherlock!

After hours of my life finding palms (for no reason...?) they could come and haunt me in my dreams

Fingers are definitely crossed 🤞

Don't be scared...it's just a palm lol!

Ante, IMHO clearly cold damage, probably combined cool weather combined by too moist soil and high air humidity. What is the substrate in the pot? If they show already cold stress, their survival through winter is not certain. I fear a lot indoor conditions when substrate is mainly soil with organics, because inside the house what misses frequently during winter is enough fresh air, which dries out the substrate. Put to the equation inadequate light and you have perfect conditions for diseases. Like I had recommended to another PTer, better place the pot on a sunny window sill and provide some root warmth through a heating pad. Replacing the substrate this time if the year (and the following one) is a BIG no!

The Sabal in the second picture resembles a lot a maritima, which grows in my garden!

Do you grow also Sabal maritima in your garden?

And here are a couple of gratuitous pics of our new pup playing by the dam, to make up for the charred remains exhibited above!

Added a few more, um, er, palms? You could maybe call them that at a stretch, although these resemble more some stricken survivors of a dystopian apocalypse...which in fact they virtually are, having been ravaged by rabbits (two down to the spear alone), dug out of the dry South Arm sand, and finally a year later transplanted to a better place, in what is now I guess the SW Pacific bed, rather than just LHI. These are of course, as any three year old could tell, Rhopalostylis baueri cheesemanii, or hopefully, will be some day! So now it's cheesemanii in the foreground in the green hats and baueri in the back in black.

They are gorgeous, I could only carry one at a time due to an arm missing as I hoped out of the nursery, I don’t seem to have any trouble with Zamias in my climate with temperatures as low as 2 degrees celcius. Don’t be fooled by them they are cool tolerant no frost but tolerant.

This is genuinely scaring me because I took a picture of another supposedly lutescens but it could be arenarum...

The runt of the litter, you get that with all plants and animals, only the fittest shall survive!

Son unas zamias preciosas y con ese tamaño te habrán costado un ojo de la cara... Ya nos contarás qué tal pasan el invierno. A priori las zamias de Panamá son bastante tropicales pero faltan reportes de experiencias con ellas en climas más marginales
