Could warm water be a solution?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've applied warm water on cold (5-7⁰C minimum temp) days to my more tropical palms so I obviously haven't seen a clear result.

These are my "Final" and more accurate temperatures for these days with this incoming cold front. Could applying warm water during the night to my palms help them in any way?

Warm water will dissipate any "heat" rather quickly. 

 Las temperaturas del martes, miércoles, jueves y viernes parecen muy similares a las mías aquí en la isla de Vancouver.

What palm species are you concerned with during those temperatures?

If you're using warm water to irrigate, not much help.  What would be helpful for young palms would be to fill up bottles of warm water and surround the palm with them.  I've seen posts here with using "wall of water" as winter protection.
