you inspired me to go find one since i know the local HD has them from time to time. i went and there was about 20 of them, must have gotten a fresh delivery ... they didn't have any other Ti's other than 'Xerox'. There's 5 growing points .... one of them has a pretty thick trunk, 2 other thin...

holy crap that's quick

i haven't planted anything in the ground yet but from exchanging messages with ScotTi and tropicalken you can cut the plant pretty low and it'll just resprout from the nub. i'm planning on planting in clusters of 3 or 4 like how they come from the big box stores so i can have fuller looking...

agreed .... i'd post a picture of my H.belmoreana but i don't have one

i keep forgetting to do something like this. time to go to my neighbors place that just had a wall and footings removed, the planter area is surrounded by alot of concrete though so that might help

Thanks, i really like the Pseudophoenix genus, but they're sooooooo slow .... my Pseudophoenix planter is going to be right up by the sidewalk, there's a Brahea 'super silver' there as well but i'm going to put a bunch of broms in that area for ground cover and they should really pop

i have this one that i bought from home depot and i have it in full sun. it always looks good sitting in its pot but knowing it'll take a good amount of sun it's going to get planted out in spring

just because i always have to ask, how fast is that ekmanii growing? i still need to pick me up one or a few. i bought a few sargentii navasana from FL a bit over a year ago and planted the larger 7gal one and it's barely growing and still only holding 4 fronds, it did get quite a bit of root...

i've looked into this and will do a small worm farm once i get everything in the yard cleaned up and organized, i have too many potted stuff all over the place. i have bought worms from a local place though to quickly introduce worms into my garden and they seem to be all over the place now...

love the colors

Jim's garden is simply amazing regardless of location but the fact that he's in norcal makes it that much more impressive

it's pretty odd that i've had some palms do nothing but explode with growth as soon as it's planted, small or large. and i've had some that were pretty large and have have barely grown in the last year. i planted out a 7gal Pseudophoenix sargentii navasana and it still hasn't opened up a spear...

that is real odd

it's one of those things where you just have to figure out what your HD and others in the area carry. i know the HD in huntington beach carries a decent variety of bromeliads, and i've read alot that some of the HDs in the SD area will carry Chambeyronia species or some other dypsis

you have great weather out there. from what i've noticed in my young garden they grow so much faster and acclimate much better in the ground. this is my side by side comparisons. Archontophoenix myolensis - i had 3 strap leaf seedlings that were the same size, and i picked one randomly and...

without much sun my hobby greenhouse isn't going to do much other than protect it from possible frost. maybe i'll wait it out or as you suggested get a heat mat, I've been meaning to get one of those

yup, my plant looks exactly the same and it was labeled on their pot (okay I just checked my pot it's "Black Knight") ... unless they mislabeled them which won't be a first. there's 2 home depots near me and I stop by both regularly since they're so close. this is what I've seen there so far...

i went to school in So Pas

thanks! .... what do you think about starting cuttings now? like try rooting them indoors now and then putting them up and putting them in a little hobby greenhouse over the winter so i can get a headstart since I'm itching to give this a shot. I don't really get frost out here and the lows...

imagine the growth rate of a vietchia x archontophoenix alex
