They're getting to a nice size, Marceli, where they can probably take anything winter can throw at them. Beautiful, also the Big Mama pups in the previous photo. Igor, glad winter hasn't been too cold yet. But snow cover will be very good for the seedllings. We're getting V E R Y cold now. :verycold...

Nice yuccas, Edmar! My old (yup...25 yrs or so) filamentosas are bulletproof. Never protected and they receive snow, hail, rain, cold winds. They always look worse after winter when there's been little snow. Re your plastic roof...maybe a broomhandle stuck in the middle like a tent pole would make s...

transplant into a garbage can, my wife will haul it to the curb That's many years away for a CIDP which have a huge amount of fleshy roots. Mine had been going into serious decline for years and was barely hanging on. suppose there's not a very big market for what we do. Yeah, isn't that the truth!...

I lost newly in the ground CIDP in Manzanita, Oregon, to the cold last winter. Yeah, that was a shame Erik...kind of surprised me actually. Especially when your Shaving Brush palm made it (which is good). But I would've bet money that CIDP would survive what Shaving Brush would not. IMO, always a g...

shnay good one :lol: a 1 gal pot CIDP might be happy in pot(s) for a few years, say, until it's a 5 gallon. Mine did best in the hottest windiest spot, with lots of water. It actually lived in pots for probably 30+ years, finally ending up in a plastic garbage can with tons of drain holes drilled i...

Licuala over the sink in the kitchen Have been wondering how it's doing, Jim. Silver Date(larger) and the other large one is a regular CIDP both will stay in the pots. I picked up two smaller ones though with the intent of planting one in the ground...when I figure out where and watch and see how y...

Sagos get so nice with time. I almost lost one of mine, all the leaves yellowed and someone here said to water the heck out of it and it popped back with a vengeance. My planted CIDP looked great all summer, but didn't seem to grow very much. I had expected it to take off once it was in the ground, ...

Wow, Aaron, you've done so much to transform your place. Incredible beauty, love the paths and rock berms. Silver/blue plants look so beautiful with rocks. Good idea to prune those trees so they show more of the landscape. Your daughter is growing up fast, lovely girl. Now go get her that saguaro. :...

That opaca's a beauty, Paul. -20C :lol: :lol: we've had it, but you haven't. You may recall that last year I inverted a plastic garbage can over my unknown yucca (thought to be elata). A nice shoot emerged from the roots this summer as winter almost killed it. This winter it's in a clear plastic cov...

Would? or wouldn't use leaves, Jim? Flammable is why I never used leaves inside an enclosure. Each year, the odd dry maple leaf blows inside palm enclosures while I'm installing the covers. With C-9 incandescents lying on the ground heating the enclosures all winter, I'm always amazed at just how br...

boxes from that inch-thick pink or blue foam insulation. Agree with suggestions, especially never watering in winter. I'd add a 40 pound rock to the top of the foam boxes, spreading the weight over a 1 x 6 board so the box doesn't collapse. Otherwise those boxes will be in Lake Erie within a week. ...

So the frost cloth between the fronds and the drums won't do me a bit of good? If so.... darnit.... Frost cloth will help somewhat; the cloth won't feel as cold as, say, plastic. Would let humidity escape too which is good. Yup, an arctic blast is settling in. Got the palm hut up yesterday but the ...
