Mystery "tropical plant"

I am giving up on trying to identify this myself. Another great buy at walmart (another $1.25 plant, I love their clearance), but unfortunately no name on it. The plant is about 10 to 12 inches tall right now and at least 6 inches across. It is super dense right in the center and my camera doesnt ca...

Is there a good source for info on germinating temps?

Hubby sent me some seeds from the Phoenix dactylifera from our house in Saudi. I fashioned a heating pad to turn off and on based on temps, but I cant decide what range to set it at. Is there a good site that lists the best germination range for various palms?

Thanks for some ideas. I already know that I am not going to be able to have them in the ground and survive more then 2 or 3 winters without extensive protection (Living in Garden City, by the way, already had frost several times). Right now they are inside for this winter, but I am hoping by next w...

My majesty palm and my new bamboo palm juveniles are the ones that survived the trip so looking to reb...
