Hi all, I'm new to this list and I'm joining to get some help. I have two Kentia palms in my living room (big room) I haven't taken the temp but I guess it...
Take them outside once every 2 months and run buckets full of water throught the pots. Your small waterings are building up salts from the tapwater in the...

I had the same problem with a H. Belmoreana. I flushed them with copious amounts of distilled water (no salts there). Blood meal rstored the yellowing leaves...
You have been given excellent advice about your kentia--flush them out. We have about 1,200,000 under production. When wondering how to treat them, remember...

What is Blood meal ? Is it available in stores. My palm also has yellowish leaves (the older one's) and I thought this was due to either over exposure to...
Once again sorry to use this list for this but I think most of the problems have been fixed. If you've signed up for FTG's Seed Program Distribution List you...

I'm surprised everyone gives the 'flushing' advice about the kentias. I live in a hard water area (my kettles barely survive, let alone my palms), & I have...
In my experience it can be caused by lack of light, but usually it is caused by watering with hard water or/and lack of nutrients. I sound like a salesman for...
Speaking as someone who has killed many palms, the main thing to remember is that no matter what palm you have, be it a shade lover or not. A house/indoors is...
I would like to hear from other Central Florida growers and the success with C. baileyana. It seems like this palm survives in the upper 20's with minimal...
Jerold, I planted two Cop. baileyana seedlings in the ground in my frosty backyard (I didn't realize how frosty then) in Geneva (25 mi NE of Orlando) about 4...

The one here at Leu Gardens was planted in 1995 from a 5 gal. pot. It is now about 6-7 feet tall. It went through 27deg.F in the Jan. freeze. The lower leaves...
some of these Copernecisa take such a long time to root in before they really start growing. One severe freeze sets them way back at a critical stage. My C....
Hi to all, A friend gave me 10 Parajubaea cocoides seeds he collected in Los Angeles. I had never seen P. cocoides seeds before. The seeds I received look...
P. cocoides seeds are round to oval but with a pointy end, 2-4cm across, rather larger than Jubaea seeds I've seen. Also, like Bolivian species, there are ...

does this species have any cold tolerance, Garrie Landry...
Cool tolerance, yes - it appreciates temps from 40F to 85F. 28-25F is about as low as it will tolerate, as far as I've heard. It might regrow from lower temps ...

Dick douglas had good results with this during the 90 freeze in Norhtern California. THis was a mature specimen. It got down to 14 F one night withy a week of...
Gerard, I am by no means any type of authority, but I have found from the seeds that I have germinated that (from memory) Parajubaea Toralyi var Macrocarpa may...

Right, thank you Jason. You're confirming what I suspected, these seeds are definitely Jubaea, they are devoid of keels. Thanks again Gerard...
Humidity seems to play a part in the cold tolerance with the various Parajubeas. The coccoides does well in a cooler environment but will tend towards fungus...

Hi Christian, Thanks for your response. I do have seeds of the three Bolivian species or varieties of Parajubaea, as well as of Jubaea, this is why I could...
