I have a beautiful clump of lady palms that has decided to go wandering and is popping up at various locations outside the bed where it is supposed to be...
Jerold; You could try to harvest the suckers by cutting partially through the linking root to the mother plant and allowing roots to form at the junction. ...
I could only suggest you cut around some distance from the plant with a spade to remove existing suckers (don't cut the roots!), then physically contain it by...
Why is digging not an option. Pot them up, they make great gifts. I hate killing any palm. Why not cut them back to the ground if you can't pot the suckers. ...
If you sever the stolon before the main clump, you can spray the suckers without killing the main clump. Perhaps a root barrier would keep the Rhapis from...

Larry! Word is that palm is good to 30º but I would give it a winter in a greenhouse, or else build a cold frame around it. I am in Ventura also and I find it...
I have tried about 6 of these because of their cold tolerance. I only have one remaining. It has never flourished and probably will soon die. Now the P....
Given that these palms grow in upland areas on Hawai'i where they are usually cool and wet, I would suspect that South Florida is too hot for them to thrive....
Another species, Pritchardia minor, thrives in chilly San Francisco, but will take almost no frost. I doubt it would tolerate Florida soils or summers,...
