Hi Pat, yes once the palm has matured, it will send out an inflorescence (pod..flower..seed) every year and often more then one; you may find the "beauty" less appealing once you have to trim them off
Hi Susan, if you cut a trunk halfway, and replant the top section, it will root and grow,,,meanwhile the bottom section will send out a side shoot just below the cut; this is the usual way of keeping them
It sounds like a lack of humidity, the moistened pebbles need to be added and new soil needs to be added; often a root ball can become compacted, and even when you repot them, the soil around the root
Hi Amir, your geographical region sounds similar to where I am,,,but probably a little more heat and humidity..(I am in South Florida); Okra and Cherry Tomatoes grow well here during the extreme Months
Hi Jorene, there are numerous choices, but I would recommend a newcomer to Florida (gardening wise..) to go with Pentas, they come in several colors and are not as difficult as some of the others as far
