Edward Granville thank you so much Man for your kind words and your comment you were definitely right with a lot of your assessments I totally agree with you thanks for the information I have learned a little more since I made this video thanks bro cheers

Edward, where are you located? I just planted 3 Christmas Palms in my patio here in Southern California (Zone 10). 1 is potted and gets full sun all day, and the other 2 I have planted in the ground and get partial shade more than direct sun. Full sun happens for them about 4 hours a day. I realize that's not a lot for a Christmas palm, but I could really use some advice..

And you expect us to take your word for it? You’ve never even grown a palm tree

Oh that sounds better than yelling...good idea

@@NoNORADon911 🤣🤣

Damm and that in like 15 minutes. Like watching tv was waiting for the commercials.

Z. Deutch thanks so much 🙏

Orlando Nunez awesome bro thanks

I have been growing palms since I was little too. Now I am like 5 foot something so I still am little. I am a teenager though.

Thanks so much for your nice comment ❤️

M3KAL thanks bro I hope you grow great 👍

quincychavez awesome bro good for you Great work. Thank you for your comment 🤙

Well thank you so much for your nice comment

Yeah for sure you were definitely right about that

Their roots only grow down about 3ft.

How long do i keep it before putting in 1 gallon pot size? How many Leaves 3 or 5

chris sobie I move them into a 1 gallon pot once the trunk is as thick as a pencil or a pen and I move them into a 2 gallon pot when the trunk is as thick as your thumb

@@TheJames2929 thanks for the information.

Hi James, I transfered to one gallon Motts Apple Juice bottle yesterday. On third leaf growing the fourth.

chris sobie nice bro

Thanks 🙏

Cheers!

Kkkkkk you could have just advised him tonspeak louder

herbert Manjiche I’m advising you to get a sense of humor! He essentially said that, but with comedic effect..live a little!

@@herbertmanjiche996 you must be new here.

BOO THAT MAN!!!

Mumbles quickly, more like it. :) Add in a fun Canadian accent & there's something for everyone!

tim millan yeah you’re probably right I would never put my palms in cold temperatures so I don’t really have any experience about that thanks for the comment bro ✌️

Thanks

Enjoyed the brief pit stop to address the cat, then moving on 😊

Alexandre Lalonde No not quite but they can’t take down to -10 to -12 c. unprotected

They need shade

Thank you so much the fertilizer is called Sunnyland palm fertilizer

It depends on how water tolerant your palm species is. Generally, palms love lots of wood chip compost with some actual wood chip mixed in. Mix some sand with that (but not too much) and you should have a decent palm mix. If you want to buy something pre-mixed, the closest one would be cacti and succulent mixes, but they are expensive, so if you do get some, mix it 50/50 with a wood compost mix. Don't forget to fertilize the soil mix with a solid, slow release fertilizer also, because cacti mixes don't have a lot of nutrients.

Dwight Cannon I hope so you might be OK you could offer some small protection

James palms thank you so much. What would you suggest for the colder months? I was thinking maybe a good mulch job and covering them with burlap

Pack them with the soil around it

DOUGLAS FIR The end of the summer or fall is fine but usually they are seeding all times of the year if they are not completely chopped up at all times

@@TheJames2929 And when you can tell they are mature enough? I found them in different colors, but I guess it depends on the species. Thanks again, cheers.

DOUGLAS FIR when they are not green. Simple as that. Red, orange or yellow etc. not sure? Look on the ground. What color are the fruit that have dropped? That’s your answer. Also I do not recommend collecting seed off the ground as you’ll likely get beetles that will dig into all your seeds and kill them

@@CaptainMyCaptain33 Thank you, however, I've already done that, and got good results! However palm seeds do really grow slow don't they?

After you eat the dates, the seeds are just right to put them in the pot, or directly in the soil !

Here’s a Fall playlist of how to start from seed kzfaq.info/sun/PLhy-FQbsQc6IIzfR3wq4Su8EobbfFpKhT&si=LEeG8H8iXyIQScbR

fuhgetabouddit if you planted them in the ground right now I think they would do fine especially if you get a mild winter if you want to protect them for sure you can make them survive and they’ll grow all they want in the spring

James palms thanks James! Here’s to hoping for one of those 83° on Christmas morning type of winters 😃

fuhgetabouddit yeah for sure me and you both

Ross Demmon if you keep it in a small pot it will never get big but it may eventually decline and die just grow it until it’s to pack and then leave it outside and then start another one from seed that’s the easiest way it’ll be more fun to watch it grow each year

@@TheJames2929 alright I may consider something else slower growing for now, how fast does Trachycarpus bulgaria grow? I know its really hardy to like -15 F

Ross Demmon if you’re growing from seed it will be four or five years before it’s too big to bring inside maybe even six or seven

Brian Felstein yeah thanks

They usually grow up to 3 inches per month, just make sure to give them some shade to prevent sun burn on the leaves.

Was it root rot? From what I understand overwartering cause a fungus to infect the plant, happened to mine.

V8AmericanMuscleCar this Palm is actually a Mexican fan palm (Washingtonia robusta)

@@TheJames2929 thanks. I have Wagnerianus, at least I think so. LOL

V8AmericanMuscleCar np cheers

Thanks so much

Georgia yes California and Florida no depending on where you live

@@TheJames2929 What about in winter like in central florida can it take the cold or do i have to take it in?

​@@toronnieSlavaUkraini They'll do fine the coldest it ever gets is 40° F. Washys can take up to 20°

I would look for a healthy specimen of the palm you choose, and gather seeds from the ground. The healthier the plant, the more likely the seeds will germinate.

@@gasubtropics Thanks!

@@kevinmagee6450 No problem!

soobraty raees that one is like 5 years old

MrHellsno yes each one on their own pot is much better

@@TheJames2929 thanks. Iv been trying palm for a few years. Trying to figure how to grow them, your videos Are like gold man.

MrHellsno Thanks man

@@TheJames2929 do you ship your palms ? I'm in Calgary Alberta.

MrHellsno I never have but if you want I guess I could better wait a few more weeks so there’s no cold weather at all and I can try to send them to you Just email me at james_shep2929@hotmail.com

Yes I guess you could do that also you might want to just try putting it in a very hot dry place and let the moisture dry up

@@TheJames2929 That's what I'm trying now. I have the palm in full sun with the blinds turned up. Only the soil is in sun. It's a Ravenea Majesty Palm 'Tree' who would have known 😅

Yeah for sure that’s no problem

What kind of palm is it? Could be the soil. Some palms like well drained soil, others more moist. Could be your soil. Or not watering thoroughly on a regular basis if it's in a pot. I take care of people's potted plants when they're out of town, and I noticed how soil looks wet on top, but down beneath, it is bone dry. This happens when there's no regular watering and then when the soil becomes too dry, it repels the moisture. Then the plant either needs to be repotted with moist soil or you'll need to work the moisture back into soil with your hands, or have it sit in a saucer type water capture at bottom with extra water sitting in it. Not sure if that's what happened to you, but I see this as a common problem. Repot your palm and chop up banana peels, let them soak in water for a few days, then pour on soil near roots. Palms love the potassium in it. I feed mine with whole bananas chopped up mixed with water and into the soil when bananas are on sale.

I imagine that it would

If you move up to a giant pot right away it encourages root rot. Because the bigger the pot the more water you will need to use and it will be too much water for a smaller palm.

I thought it was from planting palms in them. That is what I do when I buy red solo cups from Walmart.

Eric Thompson yeah man if you use some of those methods it will get you very good growth quickly

Mine all sprouted last week of January and the biggest ones have 3 leaves.. they are outside full time now so hopefully they survive

Eric Thompson they will do fine until winter make sure to keep them in full hot sun all day long

Yeah I’m surprised they did as well as they have being that until 2 weeks ago they were inside under 35 watt lights lol 😂 live and learn

Eric Thompson good job bro

Thanks 🙏

Right meow 😸

LookHere3 yeah lol thanks

Yeah pretty much especially if you live in a cold place

Southern ontario Palms and tropicals Yeah a red solo cup is deep enough to get a fairly large palm going. It just has to be deeper than like 3 inches. And be all by itself if the palm is with other palms it will grow slower. the one on its own will always be faster growing in the one mixed with all the others in one pot

NoSunBeach I recommend a couple feet between them but you can plant them right beside each other some people do. Thanks for your comment yes sorry sometimes my mouth is far away from the phone I’m trying to work on that you can turn on Close captions in the top right hand corner of the KZfaq app

Thanks buddy

Melanie Reid Hope you found the information helpful thanks for your comment
