I've been watching your videos for 2 days..haha I now bought grow lights and my family are laughing because Im already inquiring about boxes for winter protection five years from now.. 🙃 germinating some (Mexican fan) seeds today. Also have a 6mth date palm and 6month Mexican palm now under the lights. Thanks for the videos of your journey. 🌴 you're right....with all the bad in the world, there is good too. 👍 ✌ ☮
Love it you love palms I got whole bunch growing in my green house can’t wait into they look like yours good job
Bonsaiguy 413 thanks bro you are going to love it. They are so much fun to see grow.
Good job 👏🏼... planted some seeds myself early this year outside in Los Angeles weather that are just spouting the grass leaves... I love ❤️ how tough they are
Ernest Smith yeah that sounds great they will do awesome there for you I’m sure
LOVE YOUR PALMS. I Wish I Had That Much I Have One Mexican Fan Palm it is about a little over 4 FT Tall We Take It Outside Sometimes When it is 40s 50s 60s And Mid 70s IN MARCH This Year In 2021. We Get Very Cold In winter like -40 IN DECEMBER. And God Bless.
wowie those palms look really nice
i like how the leaves are pretty hairy or idk what it is but it just looks cool haha
very nice video :-)
What was your fertilising routine over their growth? What type of fertiliser?
Thanks for the vid.
Do you think they will survive winter every year outside or do you have to keep them inside?
I always see these growing through curbs in the road, pretty cool to see how they grow
Yeah they’re super cool they’re definitely like a weed
i have one in my backyard but im moving soon, do you know if i can transfer them or even propogate a cutting?
I live in an apartment that faces due south. I get plenty of sunlight in the summertime. I love the Mexican Fan Palm, but should I get one for the porch?
Hay James I just received my order from Home Depot for a Mexican Fan Palm it's a monster can I keep it indoors in front of my sunny windows.
Hi do you add sand to miracle gro potting mix ?
They are really fast! How?
My Washingtonia robusta seeds succeeded to! 🌴 There tiny but green
That’s awesome great 👍
How big are they now? Any updates? :)
Do you think the miracle grow cactus and palm soil would work for starting out a washingtonia?!
Madison Parris yes for sure that works very good I use it myself sometimes
So pretty
Trrue lol thanks
how long do they usually take to germinate
7 days
Outsanding! Where are you located.. I am in NC zone 7.. I have naturalized Sabal Palmetto growing wile here.. The Ag extenion agency is blown away and the NC State school of Horticulture is working with me now to have this named.. if you want to give this one a shot let me know.. I have onhand over 2k seeds
I would be very interested in obtaining some of your seed. I’m in Raleigh and oak island. Please let me know how to get in touch with you.
Sweet troop! I also would like to grow palms in Ontario. Nearly ordered a similar sized windmill to eventually plant it in our prime spot until realizing there is a natural gas line running directly underneath blocking our way.
Ok thanks
Hi which is your favourite fertiliser for the robusta ?
mark harvey yes my favorite fertilizer is called Sunnyland Palm fertilizer for Southern Gardens
mark harvey yes that is perlite
Thank you
I put mine in water for about over 10 days. What do I do now? Can I Put it in a wet paper towel?
A small baggie with soil keep the soil temperature 85 to 95 Fahrenheit try to keep make sure that the soil is brand new soil without a lot of fungus or anything
@@TheJames2929 I have Fresh soil. How long will it take for them to sprout in soil?
Where do you get your seeds from?
I collect all my seeds from palms in Florida
James palms can you send me to south of France by the post ?
How much did you sell them for?
$20 usually
Where do you sell your palms?
Red_Marbe just local to friends and family
Ohh
Will sell them to anyone from CZcams as well or anyone that wants to buy them I just don’t advertise or anything if their local
There is someone selling palm in your region on kijiji. I thought it was you.
Alexandre Lalonde Yeah I’m not sure LOL
At what age do you think they will make seeds
It depends on how well it’s growing it will definitely be a long time it needs probably at least 10 to 15 feet of trunk
I would say 10 to 15 years it also needs a lot of heat to produce fruit certain areas will not make enough heat to ever make seeds
@@TheJames2929 I also live in zone 5b, in Pennsylvania, USA. I built a tee-pee over each majesty palm and I put heatlamps in on an electronic thermostat.
@@TheJames2929 I also have 20 mexican fan palms growing inside my house, I started roughly at the same time you did 3 or 4 years ago and I track my growth based off your video since the month is the same
I wanna buy one
AdultCartoons andCereal For sure you can have one of mine where do you live ?
@@TheJames2929 Nice, I live near Charlotte NC
@@TheJames2929 How much for a big sized washingtonia robusta
AdultCartoons andCereal you’re better off to go somewhere local I’m probably not going to ship to the US it’ll be too much money for shipping it’s not worth it
@@TheJames2929 No worries, i enjoy the videos, respect
