My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
I have a Lady Palm (raphis humilis) and its about a foot or so tall...A friend is wanting a couple of the babies...short ones that have branched from the main stalk...how would i separate them? i have heard people do this but i am totally unsure...Also, does anyone have any growth tips for this palm. It sits in low to moderate light and i water it ever so often, when it dries out..
Easy! Shuck the plant out of its pot and take a sharp, sterile knife and cut straight through a section of the root ball. Be sure to get some roots from the division and plant it up in some well-draining soil. As far as tips, don't let this palm really dry out or it will deeply resent it. They like bright light but watch direct sun in the hottest months. They make GREAT houseplants that never really need go spend the summers outdoors (though it's helpful if you can manage it).
I agree with the method of division that NJ mentioned. I would wait until early spring before cutting it though so it has all summer to spend outside in the shade to recover. One of my favorite palms, and pretty cold tolerant (and VERY indoor tolerant). Too bad that its slow growing and expensive. Good luck and Happy New Year! -Alex
