A perfect forcast for indoor palms!

19 years ago

Now that all my palms have been moved inside (except for Potted and in-ground S. Minors) for the season this forcast could not be better. The bulk of my palms are in a spare bedrrom turned greenhouse. It has a window 5X3 facing due south. All of these sunny days mean full sun and mid 70s inside. After two terrific October heat waves already all of this sun will will start my palm's indoor journy off in a great way. I also planted about 40 seeds of various types. The Bizmarkia seeds are giant so they are potted in pots about 5 inches deep and sitting right on windowsill. The soil shoots into the 80s when it's sunny like this. I was able to germinate several palm seeds this way last winter. "Here comes the Sun" Ya.

you remember when you said just because a palm can handle certain temps that doesn't mean it likes to.
Mine are inside too and they are staying there.. It's too risky at 40 and even sometimes 39 .

most of mine are inside now also. first night tonite with temps supposed to be around 35F. Anything tropical in nature is inside now, I have left a few cold hardy things on the covered patio to fend off the chill. good luck

That sounds like a great spot. Watch for mites though, sunny dy locations attract them like a magnet

mist+fan if your grandmother does not mind.
