Great site. I do wonder, I got some cactus soil, should I germinate the Wheeleri in regular peat, or in the cactus soil?

Kansas

I sent off to a guy for free seeds of Filifera and Dasy Wheeleri. I think he sent me dudes!!!! Lemme know if these really are Fililera & Wheeleri The Flilifera are REALLY small. Look like bird seed. Also, they float. NONE sink. Also, they smell like fresh cut hay. If you don't know what that sme...

I voted for Faxy, but with the Rosty that Desrt sent me, IT might overtake it on my list.

Kansas

So are you the "Kansas Palms" guy that I saw on "Garden Watchdog"? If so, I have been trying to get some way to get a hold of you. I see where you will have an update in April. I travel to Salina every two weeks and would LOVE LOVE LOVE to come by and see your greenhouse or whate...

Kansas

JESUS!!!!!!!! Thats rediculous. So after I repotted, some of the lower fronds were drying out and I had to cut them. So that is normal? Also, the trunk which used to be green has now turned brown. Looking at the pic, this is normal too. So my tree may not be dying? Maybe just dehydrated and I need t...

I am in undeveloped areas every day in my job. I often must walk thru acres of woodlands and have been thinking of the untouched ground cover. The soil is dark black under all the leaves and evergreen needles. Maybe this would be good for you? Find a housing development that is going up, and wonder ...

Kansas

Well I took the soils and mixed it with a bunch of pine bark, peat moss, Sagnum moss and sand. Mixed it up very well and just took ONE Robusta seed to see how the soil is.
The rest of the Robustas will go in the Soil I buy from Lowe's today.
But I am going to watch the river soil seed closely.

Kansas

Wondering if this would be good to grow Palms or a Rostada in.
It is very silty dirt that is basically dirt that used to be in the bottom of the river. Very Airy and moist, but dries on top very quick.

Kansas

AWSOME AWSOME AWSOME instructions!!! They are Robusta. I got them from a guy in Wichita Kansas. I HOPEFULLY have a bunch of Filf coming from Las Vegas any day now. Are they about the same germination speed? The Robusta, I soaked for 24 hrs, sowed in wet perlite-peat in a baggie, put on top of heatin...

Kansas

They only have about an inch root right now. No leaves or anything.
Should I pull out and plant in potting soil yet?
If so, how deep do I put the seed?

Kansas

This hobby is TOO COOL. I came from the boxing biz where we had people that would cheat me out of tapes and DVD every chance they had. This hobby has got to be the greatest group of folks. Lemme know Paz when you can ship and I will look forward to it. I owe DZ $15, & I'll put you down for a 10 ...

Well, I was actually thinking it was too heavy to load inside and out with the lay out of my house being as such that it would have to be carried down stairs every night, until Mr. 10 minutes to think of a great Idea ME, thinks....would this work, take it out to the East side of house during day, th...

Kansas

Looked at the bottom of the baggie tonight and saw 5-6 tiny roots. What I would LIKE to do, instead of keeping in a comunnity pot and risk roots winding each other, I'de like to put them in individual flats. Is this smart? If so, when do I do this? Do I keep them in the same peat that they are germi...

Kansas

I know, I am busy on the boards today.... Just got a call from my friends down in Lake City, Florida (just outside of Jacksonville) and they said they went out and found a bunch of seeds. He said they were left on the ground from last year. Think they should still be ok? He doesn't know what they ar...

Kansas

Really, the Faxonia is my only BIG worry. It is too big to take out and bring in every day.

Kansas

I think what I will do is wait until late April and go back and see if they have them still. If so, I will then buy one and plant it. Kinda like letting them babysit for it

Kansas

I can get a 3' tall Musa Basjoo for $50. Should I get it and go ahead and plant it? Zone 5, but temps now are high 30's at night to mid 60 days.

OK here is my list.... 1) Trachy Fortunei= 1' trunk with 5-6 fronds 2) Trachy Takil= both 3" trunk with 6-7 fronds 1) Hystrix= 3" trunk 1) Sabal Minor= 3" trunk 1) Pygmy Date (dying I think)=1' - 6" trunk 1) 3" trunk Yucca Rostrada 1) 4'- 6" Trunk Yucca Faxonia 2) 8&quo...

Kansas

Hello Dr. My advice is to keep them potted. I did repot mine taking the other three out and repotting the biggy. Well it is still alive, but it doesn't look good at all. I am afraid for the future of it. My old one, which I have had for about 6-7 months now was potted in the store with 4 others. Ove...

Kansas

I just thought of something with the Minor....
When I got the Minor, I potted in a pot, I don't know, maybe 6"-8" deep. Since the tree looks fine, just no new leaves, maybe the tree is busy growing the trunk and roots right now???????

Kansas

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME!!!!!! I have not forgotten about you!!!!!!!!!! I will get you back. BTW, the Minor has not grown at all, not upset cause they are slow growers from what I hear and it has not showed any signs of dying either so I take it that its fine. But the Yucca, after the initial transpla...

Kansas

The transplanted PDP I bought for $8.00 was transplanted a couple weeks ago. I just noticed that the cut branches that were trimmed to form the trunk are turning brown. The leaves that are existing are fine. But the trimmed stubs are brown. Too much water, not enough. Not enough sun, too much sun???...

Kansas

I checked some of the baggies with Fortunei seeds that Joe sent sent me. I spotted some (didn't check all of them) that had a white root (presumably) growing.
Now, do I wait until I see a green leaf, then pot them, or do I do it now in potting soil with sand and pine bark?

Kansas

I am getting some seeds of this yucca. Does anybody have experience with the seeds or the plant? Looking for advice on germination.

Kansas

The lower spikes are turning yellow then black and dying at a rate of 3-4 every 4-6 days.
Am I not waering enough. I water sparingly, like with a cup every 10 days.
I have not taken it outside yet to saturate since I bought it. It has been too cold.
This is the only thing I can think of.

Kansas

I heard of folks putting this into palms.
Wal Mart had it $2 a bag so I got some.
Do I use it when I feed my palms? I already use a 20-20-20 "Peter's" food and "SuperThrive".
Should I use it too or just use the epson salt on my lawn?

Kansas

Can't wait for the pics Joe. BTW, yesterday I had the day off, so took on a project. Remember I told you when I bought the Fortunei seeds from you I put them in flats. But wasn't seeing much response, so I thought I would try what everybody else had done and use the zip lock bag method. So I dug up ...

Kansas

I have a very close friend in Jacksonville area (Lake City) and he has a neighbor with palms all over. Would there possibly be seeds on these or do different trees seed at different times????

Kansas

Today it got up to 57. So I took my Forunei (1' trunk w/ 9 fronds), Takil (3" trunk), Hystrix (2" trunk) & the Sabal (1" trunk ,The one you sent Desert) outside for about an hour and a half. I put them on the south face wall so they got much sun but not much wind. Think it was a g...

Kansas

If you want to buy a needle, may I advise "Plant Delights". I bought a Hystrix (Needle), Takil & Fortunei from them. Very reasonable price. When I got my Takil, it was dry due the soil fell out in shipping. I called them and they sent out a brand new one. Best cusomer sevice I have dea...

Kansas

Too late :oops: Hope I did alright... I took the trees out, untangled the roots enough to where I could pull the 3 others off (root ball was unbelievable, but I did not break any big fat roots). I threw on tree away cause it was done! Two of them I saved and put in a peat + Spagnum mix and watered. ...

I was going thru "Home Depot" today and found a Pygmy Date that had 4 trees in it. Two are dead/dying, one near death, but one HUGE (at least for what I have seen, about a 2' trunk) tree. I talked them into $8.00 for it. What I would like to do is take the big one and pot it all by it self...

When would be a good time to go look and see if they have seeds ready? I could go down for the hunt again around Easter Sunday.
IF they are there, would they have seeds?

I bought a Takil from "Plants Delight" and when I got it, it had all the dirt fall out in shipment. I quickly repotted in a pot that had nothing in it for 6 months and also washed it. I repotted it in "Scott's Potting Soil w/ Osmocote". I also put "super Thrive in it. It now...

Sent you back another PM.

Kansas

I don't know why but the PM part of this site isn't working right. I sent you a PM about the Sabal Minor & reptiles.

Kansas

I'll do you one better. I plan on digging up a bunch (there are hundreds). I will take a pic, send the pic to you and if you want, I can send a couple to you. Maybe trade a palm or something. I will get a couple for you.
