How do you shock your sago into flushing again. Mine has been in full sun all summer and is only about to flush now. Is there a way of shocking them into flushing?

What is the rationale for using a greenhouse in the garage? Are you trying to get additional growth in the greehouse or just keep temps in check. Has anyone tried to overwinter palms in a dark cold room that never freezes? I have some trachys and robustas I would like to try this with.

Colasantis near Leamington used to carry good sized one for 35 dollars or so. I kick myself in the butt for not buying one but i did not have enough space. I was there recently and they did not have any more. They told me they could order whatever I want.

Great find at Rona!

I go into Rona pretty frequently. Today when i walked in, to my delight, I found this beuty. It is a spindle palm standing about 5 feet tall. It was only 17 dollars so I could not resist.
