Identifying the Container Ranch 2021

[Funkthulhu]

Playing around with some lists.  Made this one of all my pots in house.  Aside from some randos I picked up in Florida and got to sprout, I have identified most all of them! Granted, I had to go back through a bunch of old message and figure out what the heck @DoomsDave and others have mailed to me over the years.  But even the store-boughts are not guarantees until you see how they look when they get older.  Not a long list, but pretty good for this hobbyist and his little shared ranch.

Adonidia merrillii
Agave americana
Aloe rubroviolacea(?)
Aloe noideaensis
Alpinia galanga
Ananas comosus
Archontophoenix tuckerii (2)
Caryota mitis (fishtail)
Chamaedorea cataractarem (big spread)
Chamaedorea costaricana (bamboo-looking thin palm)
Chamaedorea elegans
Chamaedorea radicalis
Citrus x sinensis (blood orange, maybe meyer lemon? 5 years old, flower soon?)
Coccoloba uvifera (sea grape)
Codiaeum veriegatum (croton)
Curcuma longa
Cycas revoluta
Dracaena deremensis
Dypsis lutescens(90% sure?)
Dypsis plumosa (3 seedlings w/buried pot)
Echeveria derenbergii(??)
Echeveria wtf-ia
Phoenix roebelenii
Ravenea rivularis
Trithrinax brasiliensis var acanthacoma (in the tiki-sign pot)
Veitchia arecina(?)
Zingiber officinale

Still waiting on positive ID for some of those Florida randos; one of which has nearly 5 foot fronds and I think is a brand of cane palm?  But no trunk yet and recovering from a die-back, so I'm not ready to call it...  (also I have no clue what I'm doing)  There's also a lot of "stuff I was eating" like the ginger, citrus seeds, etc. that just got planted at some point.

Some of the bigger pots like the succulents, Majesty, cycad, and pygmy date go outside in the summer.  But most of these are always indoors, and now that I have lots of windows I don't even need grow lights.  I'm not going to say they're all super healthy and loving the dry indoor Nebraska winter, but they're all still alive (so far).

What do you have?

[Keys6505]

Looks like you are about 3 years away from either needing a new house or a new hobby lol. 

[Funkthulhu]

we are "at capacity" right now...  

And we just got this house!

[JohnAndSancho]

On my patio, I've got 

Washie Robusta

Cocos Plumosa (still hasn't gone pinnate, 2 1/2 ft tall or so)

2 Ravenea Rivularis

Small D. Lutescens

And 1 C. Cataractum that may or may not last. 

 

Inside I've got 

Basic snake plant 

2 tiny Dracaenas

Monstera

Cast Iron Plant

A little Kentia

A biggish Cataractarum

Tons of little C. Elegans in community pots

Some form of Ti plant 

Rhapsis Exselcea 

A couple baby L. Weddellanium 

A really rough looking Calthea 

And - what used to be 5 money trees braided together. Now there's one left and it's growing much better on its own. 

 

My office has a baby Kentia, a Mandarin Spider Plant, and 2 little pots of D. Lutescens that are much happier in this window than they were in my apartment. 

[JohnAndSancho]

I left out the Ponytail Palm. Tbh it's not one of my favorites and it's going to be gifted to a coworker. 

[Funkthulhu]

I wish I had, or had room for, a Monstera!

My list:

Trachy fortunei, princeps and wagnerianus, Chamaerops humilis, cerifera and vulcano, Butia capitata, Chameadorea metallica, both bi-pinnate and pinnate, nationsiana , Livistona chinensis, rotundifolia and australis, Archontophoenix cunninghamiana, Dypsis plumosa, Rhapis excelsa and multifida, Maskarena lagenicaulis, Washingtonia robusta, Cycas revoluta, rumphi, thouarsi and panzhiahuaensis, Dioon spinulosum, Zamia pumila, Yucca rostrata and some 25 species and varieties of Citrus.

Same here.

[JohnAndSancho]

Here's my $20 Monstera. Her name is Ms. Lou, and she's going to eventually live at the front desk of my hotel. She's named after a long-term guest we tragically lost over the holidays. I really need to pot her up and take her to work.

Try M. Adasonii, all the fenestrations but only a fraction of the size.

[Fusca]

Most of my container palms stay on my back covered patio all through the year with 5 or 6 nights coming inside away from the cold for the more tender ones.  Very few stay inside all year and I also have a set-up in my office for about a third of my plants.  Timing was good for this thread as I was just considering making an inventory of my seedlings.  Last 2 years I've been germinating seeds like there's no tomorrow!  Easy to see that I've got a problem with more than 100 different species in containers...  Eventually nearly all of them will be planted out at a property I have in the Rio Grande Valley zone 10a.  So here's my list:                                         Qty

My list was only palms and only a handful of them have adult leaves ready for planting so they're pretty small.  I also have a small Monstera adansonii and a couple of other plants that remain inside.  Plus a few citrus, delonix regia, moringa, papaya, Ebenopsis ebano, Bauhinias.  None of these will remain in San Antonio - good thing I have an acre of property to plant on!

Here's what's at my office - no windows in current location so I got the plant light on a timer.  Heat mat with thermostat and baggies plus about 20% of the seedlings here.

Jon,

 

What timer setting do you have on the grow lights.  Also, what potting medium are you using for the seedlings, as well as in the baggies.  Curious minds what to know.

Hey Rich.  It varies with the species but the standard mix I'm using in most containers is roughly a 50/50 mix of Turface MVP and Scott's topsoil or potting mix which results in a mix that drains fast.  For some species I use coco coir and pine bark chips instead of the topsoil/potting mix for really quick drainage.   In my baggies I just use sphagnum moss.  I set my grow light timer for 12 hours each day.  In my old office location I had a window with great filtered sunlight and didn't need grow lights, but here in the new location at Medina there's no windows at all in the building.  So far it seems to be working OK - I've noticed more growth since setting it up this past summer.

I've found that the Styrofoam cups are superior to the nursery style pots for seed starting and young plants.

We just moved into this place 2 years ago and I already need more room for plants.  (arguably I needed more room when we moved in, but whatevs...)

I'm a few weeks behind you and am trying to figure out where I can stash everything. I'm hoping La Nina will give me a warm 8B winter instead of my usual 8A. Luckily most of my palms and cycads are cold hardy and will handle anything above 18F in pots. I'm going to have a busy spring planting sabals.
