Question: I mystified by why spider mites won't touch a spindle palm. Every year I battle these mites on all my palms but never one on my spindle palm. NOT ONE!! Even when its by the other infested palms. Anyone have any ideas? What does this palm have that keeps mites off it. Can you make a miticid...

Barb Yeah we get storms like that every year. Hate the wind. Have to pull palms out the pool. At least my big ones in the massive 75 gal stock tanks never go over. Just too much weight to them as seen in the video. :D Usually when I'm home I prepare and move palms to a safe place. (west against the ...

I'm going to have to try this as well. These spider mites are the one thing that drive me crazy all winter indoors. It seems that nothing works on these guys. (It's like they're invincible) I'll be picking up garlic today and putting them in the pots. Any recommendations on amount per pot/palm size?...

Winter update
Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been on in quite some time. Here's a few pics of some of my palms (the big ones) over wintering in the house. My two monster queens are doing quite well now after they took a terrible beating in the spring. They are coming back strong. All the rest of my palms are doing ...

Thanks everyone for your comments. Its starting to look very tropical around the back yard again. Love my new palms. I moved my sad large Queens off to the side to let them try to recover. Despite looking sad they're both pushing new fronds. Maybe not so sad by the end of the season. Though they are...

My other Roeb's are short and compact too. These stretched ones seem to be what they get in. Boots cut up high on them to they're very up-right.

Couple months ago my friend brought me these palm seeds back from a Cruise in the caribbean. I'm not sure what they are but 9 out of 15 sprouted within two weeks. Here's pics of them today. They're really starting to take off. http://s2.postimage.org/s0Ywr.jpg http://s3.postimage.org/h8lDS.jpg http:...
