At 1 ounce of this stuff per gallon of water, I'll need to buy more palms :wink:

Yes, it's about time I got some proper fertilizer.
Anybody else fertilize interior palms this time of year?
Do you plan on using it in the Winter as well?
Funny you ask...I've noticed my palms really pushing growth, maybe because of all the sun this winter?
A little early isn't it?

Mine are in a south window, house is warm and I mist frequently, they've been inside Oct, Nov., Dec.
Maybe that's enough winter for them? ?

I figure if they're pushing fronds, they can use fertilizer, especially this new stuff.

A few that are blowing me away with growth right now are:

Bottle Palm spear is opening in this pic:

The two little Brahea armata:

Butia capitata hasn't stopped growing since summer! These are all NEW leaves! :shock:

I opened the palm fert jug and took a whiff...whew, the ammonia fumes would knock a buzzard off a manure wagon! :lol:
We'll see how the palms like it.

Looking good Barb. The warm house and misting are working well for you. My Bottle palm is pushing a new frond as well.
