This winter was the one of the coldest winter during last 50 years. I'm not sure if my USDA-zone is still 6a. We have had 25 days with subzero temps by Celsius. It was -30 C once. :shock: But my palms shelter was a good protection for my plants. The styrofoam of 9 cm is a good insulator. Inside of ...

I'm affraid of my cordyline. It grows too fast. In comparision my fortunei have a 0,45 meter size.

Here is a new pic.

serj

It is easy to grow the cordyline outside when the protect is reliable

At first i have to say my plants grow near my fathers house. It means two things: warm ground in winter and good microclimate. My shelter is box that built from the styrofoam 2-inch panels. It has size 1x1x0,5 meters. I took 4 panels and spliced it with glue. After this i excavated trench with box ...

Thanks a lot, Barb!

I'm sorry for some OFFtopic. :oops: One man asked me what happened to his plant but i didn't know what to answer him. I think it maybe overwatering? Here are some pics: This is magnolia grandiflora http://s013.radikal.ru/i323/1101/97/08b484552155.jpg This is evergreen Rhododendron http://s014 ...

Thanks! Me and my plants wish you happy New Year! Good luck in New Year!

serj

It has some neighbours

serj

Erik, thanks a lot for explanation! I have never used antifungal spray or other material. The succes is in not using things that can be rotten. No leaves inside palms shelter - no problem.

serj

My cordyline is doing OK. It saw -13,3 C being protected.

serj

Guys, can anyone tell me what is the "neem oil". (I'm not good in english).

serj

It looks like someone was eating the cordyline new leaves. You should not worry about it. Maybe slugs are eating you cordyline.

serj

nice test...but bucket is not good material for covering. You sholud try styrofoam instead bucket.

serj

Guys, what is the reason for covering palms with extra heat? Many palms will be able to survive without any extra heat under styrofoam boxes like it is doing my palms.

serj

Here is pic of my little araucaria angustifolia. It looks as healthy plant.

serj

We have had about -13,3 C for one night. There were two weeks with subzero temps by celsius.

This pic was taken yesterday.

I have to say some very interesting things. :wink: I have digital temperature sensors DS18B20. One sensor inside the box and is connected to the my fathers computer with twisted pair. Then the temperature outside was -13,3 for short time inside the box was -0,4 C :!: Usually we have followed temps ...

serj

Thanks a lot for good replyes. The seedlings which i received from Max are tr. fortunei Naples. Barb, our minimum temp has been about -13,3 C or so. A have a good microclimate. There are many forests around my town. We have nuclear power plant at the north-west location. It is 15 kilometers from our ...

Our daytemp was -4 C today. I decided to open my styrofoam box. Here is what i saw. http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/9796/allexotics.jpg This is my cordyline australis. It is suffered from combination of moisture and low temp http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/9756/cordyline.jpg This is my palm ...

Igor, it is good enought...With some protection

Igor, your climate looks more colder than mine. My average for Jan is more high.

P.S. You should remove the "point" from the link.

serj

mnpalms, i have seen you weather's archive. Brrrr, it's too cold.

serj

Thanks for explaining! mnpalms, what is the town/city where you live?

serj

mnpalms, i see your zone looks like my zone 6a, not 4b or 5f. My minimum temperature for last 20 years is -29,1 C. It looks like yours. But my average min for last 20 years is -21 C. It is a true zone 6a. What do you think of it? Do you know your average min for last 20 years? P.S. On the our ...

Very well, Wxman! My fortunei put out seven leaves only during this season.

What is the growing speed for araucana?

serj

Look at this picture, please. You can see A. araucana in the Uzhgorod, Ukraine. Uzhgorod is located in zone 6b/7a, Zakarpattya. The mountain Karpati protected Uzhgorod from the cold North winds.

serj

Tim, realy my area is borderline beetween 6a and 6b. This is in case if calculate it with official data from the meteo-station. We have no any meteo-station in our city. It is located in the another city. My city is more warmer. I have a good microclimate. It is not a long way from me to the local ...

serj

Tell me please, which voltage needs for this device 110-120 volts or 220-240?

serj

Tim, thanks very much for sharing very interesting pics. I realy see that your climate is more warmer than mine. I remember you told about -19 C as minimal temperature during last years?

serj

Tim, what kind of protection did you use for covering of araucaria?

serj

TimMAz6, i have never tried araucaria araucana outdoor :cry: But i have this one as indoor plant. It is very little. I'm going to grow it for more large size and plant it outdoor. I see one thing - araucana grows too slow in comparison to angustifolia. Yes, my climate is more colder than yours. If i ...

serj

When the temperature drops below -5 C i will put on roof from the styrofoam. Last winter all of my plams (except phoenix dactylifera) overwintered with success. It was -27 C

Last winter was very bloody. Usually we have about -20 C for 1-3 days every winter.
