HELP! help! help! I don´t want to lose

LOL!!! Dang someone already said it..

I was going to say.. Cut the ceiling hole and make dome :giggle:.. JK! :)

Well.. myself is greeny gardener... looks like too late to cut downsize.. :/

but.. You can cut 1/4 of the top part .. make sure.. you cut angle not straight.. then put that 1/4 in big bucket with very damp soil.. (keep it damp)... it will grow root..

But For me.. I wouldnt risk it.. :/ hehe.. you can figure out or find a way..

My suggest not to plant outside because you have winter and temp can kill your plant..

Good luck!!
 
keep it in small pot so it does not grow taller. I have keep my ficus tree in small pot for more than twenty years till recently I transplant it to bigger pot and it already shoot up taller.

Do not plant it outside cold weather and will kill it since it loves warm and humid.

Maybe donate it to restuarant or something that has tall ceiling.

my beloved palm... :(

Look this, that soon to be 20 years old palm hit on the ceiling of our office room real soon... :( We really don´t know what we do with that palm when it carry on grow bigger and bigger. I asked gardener for the advice how to cut them off without kill them.

They explain that the palm have to threw away if the baby root comes... but it never comes... :( I went back to gardener again for the advice. He said simple that we have to threw palm away if palm hit on the ceiling.

Some said that I can cut palm off without kill them... My hubby and I are doubt either we can cut the palm off or not...

That´s palm, we bought few days after married and move to Germany in September 1985.




I would be appreicate for your feedback how to save that palm...

I have three advises for you:

(1) Move the pot to the stairways if you have 2nd floor so that it could continue growing to the 2nd floor without cutting the ceiling.

(2) Build a green house for the kitchen (or sunporch).

(3) Donate it to a green house with your name on it (a college's green house)

Yeah, I have other one cactus named Euphorbia like this... It´s around 5,4 feet tall in living room. I know how many feet because their size is the same as my height. :giggle: It´s also almost 20 years old, too.

Yes, we have wintergarden. We extend wintergarden for our 2nd living room in 1999. We have many plants & catcuses go there. My hubby thinking about move palm from office room to wintergarden which there´re around 17 feet tall. We are trying to find right place for palm to stay...

(3) Donate it to a green house with your name on it (a college's green house)

Check this:



See the picture of 5,4 feet tall Euphorbia cactus stand at winter garten (my 2nd living-room). (don't worry about easter tree... but see cactus. :D)
 
We found right place for the palm at winter garten (our 2nd living room) so we moved palm from office room to winter garten last Saturday. It look much better but we will move palm to upstair if the palm grow bigger up to 15 feet.

Thank you for get us idea, webexplorer :thumb:

:lol: Moonflower!!!

I need those advice badly how to save palm??? I was told to cut palm off and it would stay alive but I am still doubt it...
 
lol lieb

i know what you mean i don't have clue to help i hope you can find some advice to save your tree smile
 
It's a plant. Oh no .. it's a tree!! haha .. bring to Florida cuz they do accept palm trees outside for all year round. Well ... if you can't bring it outside cuz of cold over there, then you might need to have it cut into at least three pieces and replant those. That's my suggestion. Good Luck!
 
I think guestrichardson gave the best advice.

House plants aren't intended to overwhelm the room they are in. They should stay proportional to their space for maximum positive effect. When they get too large they sometimes begin to distort (growing crooked), or get "leggy" (too more bare space on the stalk). When they get too large, it's better to start over again rather than chop them smaller.

If you can start "babies" from the mother plant, that can be a rewarding experience. Just think, you will have a second generation from your favorite plant. :)

The sad fact is, plants have a limited lifespan. They get to a point where they have "paid their dues", and it's time to move on. Plants aren't intended to live forever; they're supposed to carry on thru new generations.

If you cut it down and start new babies, you can still display a nice photo of the mother plant to show people. You can point to the babies, and then point to the picture, and say, "this is the mother plant." Then you will have a nice story to go with your plants. :)
 
Geez I couldn't help you .. But Congratulate you did good green thumb!!! ;):)
 
I have yucca growing in my back yard. Used to have 8. I took out five - I now have three.

You appear to have a variety of yucca not too different from mine. I live in a zone 8/9 region for gardening and yucca really likes it! Yucca is very hardy. As long as you give it plenty of sunshine/light, keep it cool/warm temperature, and well-drained and properly watered, your plant will do just fine.

Yucca01.jpg

The yucca on the right was slower growing than the yucca on the left. The one of the left reached the deck ceiling, stayed there for one growing season. At the beginning of the next growing season, the top half suddenly turned brown and (like you) I freaked out. Right now, in its place are three new stalks growing up.

Yucca02.jpg

Closer inspection of the left yucca.

Yucca03.jpg

This yucca was tall before a strong storm toppled half of it off. In it's place are four limbs growing.

I usually let plants grow large before whacking it to smaller size. The plant usually gets more bushy with more greenery.

Hope this helps.
